Unleash your super powers
Mindfulness and various meditation techniques are more and more finding their way into the education system and scientific research shows their benefits. This book goes even deeper: it offers practical tools to use intuition and inner guidance efficiently, to find stillness and inner power, to self-manage and to consciously direct energy, within and without, to practice various navigation and interconnection tools to support and protect young people on their way through the modern-day-life jungle and encourage them to hold a space for the sacred.
Many of the tools are based on ancient shamanic or other age-old well-tested practices such as Yoga, Qi Gong, TM and many more. They all help to bring balance, strengthen our natural connection to vital spiritual energies and are especially useful in our Western societies with their focus on intellectual and physical development and education.
Some brain research insights: When we are born our two brain hemispheres usually work independently but with equal powers. In their play, their fantasies, their thinking, children show strong right-brain activity – their intuition and creativity flows freely and they have a different sense of time, responding to unpredictable inner rhythms. However, most mainstream educational systems reinforce the dominance of the left-hemisphere. Children who won’t curb their right brains are seen as day-dreamers, lazy, disruptive. By the time they reach High-School-age, left-hemisphere dominance is firmly established in most young people. Skill at using the verbal, analytical brain hemisphere is rewarded by good grades and highly valued by our culture.
However, we need both hemispheres in balance for complete functioning and a fully rewarding life.
The aim of Power Tools for Power Kids is to provide tools and experiences to exercise the right-hemisphere of the brain,
in order to bring overall Life balance.
Keeping interconnection channels open and developing them consciously: Children are natural masters in visualisation, holographic imaging, telepathy, ritual & ceremonial "work" and interspecies communication. Babies read the energies of people and other living beings around them. You can often see how they have an intimate connection and “conversations” with animals around them. When born we all are naturally connected to the unseen realms and non-physical worlds and we have an innate sense for the sacredness of Life.. Growing up in most Western cultures we loose our ability to tune in and to stay connected as there is hardly any space for intuition, natural spirituality and sensitivity in everyday busyness.
We need “empty” spaces and unstructured surrender for intuition to emerge and creative energies to arise.
In this book, you will get some ideas of how to hold a safe space for young people as well as some introductory tools that will help them to navigate through life.
Point of difference
Power Tools for Power Kids is more than a meditation, guided imagery or mindfulness manual for young ones. It is an in depths publication that offers a compilation of practical exercises and information for various age groups covering a wide range of topics and media such as breathing, visualisation, extrasensory perception, ritual & energy work, arts & crafts and much more.
What do you get out of this book?
Tools are usually there to help us achieve something with more ease and efficiency. This is also true for the Power Tools in this book. The activities and rituals are designed to empower young people and to ease their paths. By learning how to use these Power Tools they gain valuable skills that can serve them throughout their whole life. They will learn new "languages" to communicate and to relate in this world, tools to build sustainable systems and ways of being, tools to maintain balance and wellbeing.
The Power Tools help in situations of stress, frustration, disorientation, at turning-points and when facing challenges: friendship/relationship issues, family conflicts, school-related issues (e.g. academic achievement pressure, exams), grief, illness, traumatic experiences.
The children will learn how to surf the waves of their energy without being "swept away", being anchored and connected to the "bigger picture". Imagine a lake or an ocean in a storm. The churning water, the waves and the spray make it impossible to see to the bottom: In tumultuous water we cannot see the ground. The surface has to be undisturbed and still, the high waves have to calm down, the wind has to cease. The Power Tools help children to establish a sound connection with themselves and to feel their direct link to the energetic or spirit world, so that they are able to reach a state of stillness where they can see to the bottom of things and find "peace of mind and heart". They empower them to build and access a stable platform from which they can live their lives in a harmonious way and reach their true potential.

Bringing balance - how to support our children to "do their job"
article by Birgit Baader
Children bring balance. When we are born, one of our “jobs” is to balance the imbalances of previous generations, to take things a step further, to the next level. Sometimes this can be by re-iterating the non-sustainable stuff to the point until it falls over, dies, self-destructs. It can also be done by combining new gifts, abilities & energies with existing ones that are life-supportive. Since about 20 years, we can observe an influx of children who are bringing amazing gifts to help balance the current focus on intellectual and physical realms. Instead of acknowledging and nurturing their gifts, current educational and health systems in Western societies deny, dismiss or actively suppress them.

About the author
Birgit Baader writes books and articles about topics such as Conscious Birth, Interspecies communication, holistic education, sustainable & future gen life styles and shamanism. She has published several books and documentaries.
Birgit is also active in women’s and youth work. Amongst other things she holds Red-Tent circles, vision quests (transition rituals) for young women and talks, courses and ceremonies to nurture female energies and the power of the womb. One of her main intentions is to assist children and youth to (re)connect with their inner power center and their innate “dream power” to find balance and inner peace and to feel the interconnectedness of all life.
Birgit grew up in the Black Forest, surrounded by natural power places and energy portals that had been honoured and nurtured by many human traditions. From her mother she learned a lot about herbal medicine, her father shared his deep connection and love for “basic universal things” such as gardening, conservation and star-gazing with her. Reconnecting with her Celtic heritage, Birgit learned from ancient stone and forest beings as well as from other teachers in the lineage of Wyrd. On her journey through Life she has been and is guided by non-human as well as human wisdom-carriers from the universal “Sun Tribe”.
Birgit currently has her base camp in Aotearoa, New Zealand. She loves the close connection to nature living in a cottage in the bush.
