Breaking The Movement Taboo: Reclaiming The Body's Power Through Dance
August 6, 2017 § 4 Comments
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.
Several years ago, I attended an art opening. During the event, I noticed a woman in the crowd start to move in a way that caused her to stand out. Dressed in flowy black clothing, she slowly, with great poise, began to extend her arms, moving her fingers as though sculpting the air. Eyes slightly downcast, unfocused and internal.
People stopped looking at the art and began looking at the woman. What was happening? Was she drunk? Having a slow-motion meltdown? The air in the room became tense and thick.
Like underwater kelp, she allowed her body to gently sway back and forth, stepping forward to move ever-so-slowly across the room, all the while tenderly crafting the space around her with fluid fingertips. Her pace and reverence were reminiscent of Tai Chi, but more evocative. Each movement was graceful, flowing into the next.
And then . . . we understood.
She was a dancer, and part of her performance was to take us by surprise. One moment she was one of us, standing around, looking at the paintings on the walls—conforming to the confines of accepted physicality (sitting, standing, walking). The next, she was breaking the movement taboo. Neither sitting, standing, nor walking, but expressing, emoting through her body.
The movements themselves were simple enough, but they were affecting. They came from a deep, committed place within the dancer.
[Martha Graham by Yousuf Karsh, 1948]
I was struck, not only by the performance itself, but also by that string of moments when people were taken aback by the simple act of a woman moving authentically. You could see in their faces that until they could categorize what was happening, they mistrusted it. Until she was officially "a dancer" in their minds, she was potentially a loose cannon for daring to step outside the confines of acceptable movement.
As we watched her perform, I noticed how sharply her physical fluidity and emotiveness contrasted our own uniform rigidity. It was then that I realized there exists an invisible tyranny over movement. An unspoken, shame-based restriction so pervasive, we don't often think to question or challenge it.
["Birthing The New God," By Paul Bond]
Dance has been an important part of human ritual, healing and celebration since before the birth of the earliest civilizations. Archeologists have discovered paintings in Indian and Egyptian tombs depicting dancing figures from as far back as 3300 B.C.
While in tribal scenarios we once danced together—and still do in some parts of the world and small pockets of society—as culture has evolved, a distinct division has occurred between professional dancers, who are in effect "socially sanctioned" to move expressively, and regular folk who make jokes about having "two left feet."
Break dancing is one notable exception, in that self-taught dancers are celebrated. But even in this scenario, it's the most exceptional, skilled and practiced performers that are given audience. There are still parameters. Technique is required. One couldn't simply improvise and make up for a lack of skill with feeling.
Beyond perhaps shaking their hips at a dim, crowded club here and there, most people without a background in dance feel intimidated by the idea of engaging their body in expressive movement.
Most of us who are not professional dancers have at one time been shamed—or watched others be shamed—by peers when we step outside the box of acceptable movement. The shadow of social stigmatization looms large. We fear being a joke, Elaine, in the TV series Seinfeld, who famously loved to dance but moved with embarrassing seizure-like jerks, thumbs and knees akimbo, all the while thinking she was the life of the party.
This unspoken shame and fear surrounding expressive movement prevents most people from ever experiencing the immense therapeutic benefits of dance.
Swedish researchers have shown dance to improve mood and increase mental health. It builds cardiovascular, bone and muscle strength. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, dancing can decrease the onset of dementia, boosting immunity, memory and cognition. A Standford Study has found that movement to music creates new neural pathways by integrating several brain functions at once: kinesthetic, rational, musical and emotional.
The depth of skill required to perform any kind of classical or structured dance is undeniably impressive. But many people don't realize there exists a genre of dance which specifically celebrates the authentic movement that springs from the untrained body.
Postmodern dance emerged in the late '60s as a reaction against the compositional constraints of modern dance. In the same way, modern dance itself once rebelled against the rigid formalism of classical ballet. The Judson Dance Theater, a collection of Greenwich Village artists, dancers and composers, rejected formalism in favor of fostering the purity of ordinary movement.
They saw beauty and value in the freshness of instinctive human self-expression, often using untrained dancers in their performances. Postmodern dance is typified by natural movement—versus learned form.
Around the turn of the last century, people like Isadora Duncan had developed a style they called "free dance"—a rejection of classical formality, which paved the way for a deepened expression of natural movement. Drawing on inspiration from classical Greek arts, folk dances, nature and natural forms, Duncan "followed [her] fantasy and improvised, teaching any pretty thing that came into [her] head." (Barefoot Dancer: The Story of Isadora Duncan.)
Several years after my experience at the art opening, I found myself stretching on a studio floor with a dancer-friend of mine. A modern dance teacher, she had been kind enough to give me a crash course in movement. As we warmed our bodies up and felt into the space around us, she told me all about postmodern dance and the virtues of authentic movement. Hearing from a trained, professional performer that my natural, untrained physical impulses had value was nothing short of mind blowing to me.
As she stretched her hamstrings, my friend explained that, just like any art, the main purpose of contemporary dance was to develop one's "authentic voice." As a writer, I recognized this phrase and understood it. Authentic voice highlights the value of personality and uniqueness in making effective art. It denotes the pleasure provided by idiosyncrasy, honesty and sincerity.
To cultivate authentic voice takes experimentation, risk and practice—it's a meditation on the power of vulnerability. Applying this idea to dance was a game-changer for me. Ultimately, developing one's true voice in dance is not about technique, it's about having the confidence to go deep, and to be vulnerable, allowing authenticity to shine through.

I started in my living room. I began to play with what my body wanted to do. My dancer-friend had mentioned Bartenieff Fundamentals, a method she had studied which begins with a focus on breath, and evolves into one of the body's extremities taking the lead in expressing itself.
It could start with a hand, a shoulder, a toe, the spine…I learned that if I waited and listened, with music playing, some part of my body always volunteered for the job. And after that, another part inevitably followed.
The goal, my friend said, was simply to become comfortable with my own patterns of authentic movement. And then to eventually build and expand upon those patterns. Modern dance pioneer Martha Graham's concept of Contraction & Release (a contracting movement with each in-breath, an expansive one with each outbreath) was also a helpful touchstone to begin.
In flamenco, there is a word called, duende, the spirit of the dance. Flamenco dancers wait to start moving until they feel the duende move them. They will wait, poised while the music plays, for as long as it takes.
My first time experiencing being moved by the duende of dance was life-changing. I felt a natural rhythm take hold of me, propelling me. I wasn't thinking at all, which felt delicious. As a writer who spends most of my creative time in my head, it felt amazing to move my focus to the body, to learn this new visceral language and communicate beyond words. My body rejoiced in its newfound freedom, and it had a lot to say. Stored emotions surfaced, flowing through me, released. It felt good to move expressively. In fact, it felt essential. I wondered how I had ever lived without it.
I started my dance practice while snowed in during the month of January, while fighting an immense depression. Without exaggeration, dance lifted me out of an epic funk and into a new exciting space of possibility. I had broken through the movement taboo and it was deeply liberating. I dare anyone to throw themselves into dancing to the full length of a song they enjoy and not feel a marked sense of uplift by the end. It's an endorphin rush, athleticism meets creative catharsis.
Dance is a vital resource of physical health and emotional wellbeing. You don't need to take a class to do it. Dance is for everyone. With the exception of the completely paralyzed, someone in a wheelchair can move their upper body expressively to music—there are whole dance companies created by the differently abled.
Deep, expressive movement works as emotional therapy, a physical boost and a cardiovascular workout that you won't even know you're doing—until the song ends and you feel how fast your heart is pounding in your chest. Even a slow song, if you work on consistent pacing and fluidity, is a major core workout.
This is an invitation to shed the shame, break the taboo, and reclaim your body's natural joy in movement. All it takes is 5 minutes, some space, some music, and your willingness to open up to what your body wants to say.

Neuroscience & The Next Level Of Consciousness
May 7, 2017 § 8 Comments
[Javiera Estrada, "Pillars of Creation."]
"When you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in."
Neuroscientists at the University of Sussex have identified what they regard as evidence of higher consciousness.
"Consciousness is measured on a sliding scale by the diversity of the brain signals given out and ranges from wakefulness to a deep coma, normally. However, researchers have now found that when under the influence of certain drugs, that diversity range is well overstepped." (Scientists Uncover A Higher State of Consciousness.)
By measuring magnetic fields in the brain, researchers observed a higher diversity of brain signals when on psychedelic drugs. Users of psychedelics would not be surprised at all.
[Javiera Estrada, "Pillars of Creation."]
Obvious though it may seem, the importance of this discovery can not be underestimated. This shows us that the spectrum of consciousness has a larger radius of possibility then previously measured.
The typical report of someone on psychedelics mirrors language of the saints & the mystics—a state in which the sacredness of life becomes self-evident. (See Parallax post: "Beyond Division: Studies in Bliss.) This bodes well for the future of humanity, since developing higher states of consciousness has pulled significant & mounting public interest. How else can we save our species from self-destruction but to awaken its higher centers, starting with our own.
Meditation is the most consistent way to access higher consciousness through creating inner space. When we step back from the constant babbling stream of our thoughts, we feel our distinct being-ness outside of the mind's relentless parade of emotions. According to sacred texts from Vedanta to the Tao, this inner witness is our essential nature, a source of power & peace.
There's a section of our brains that's sometimes called the Me Center (it's technically the medial prefrontal cortex). This is the part that processes information relating to ourselves and our experiences. Normally the neural pathways from the bodily sensation and fear centers of the brain to the Me Center are really strong. When you experience a scary or upsetting sensation, it triggers a strong reaction in your Me Center, making you feel scared and under attack.
When we meditate, we weaken this neural connection. This means that we don't react as strongly to sensations that might have once lit up our Me Centers. As we weaken this connection, we simultaneously strengthen the connection between what's known as our Assessment Center (the part of our brains known for reasoning) and our bodily sensation and fear centers. So when we experience scary or upsetting sensations, we can more easily look at them rationally.
I've been listening to the Headspace App this month to get me back into a regular meditation routine. It's first ten sessions are free & I invite you to just try one, because it's meditation made easy and the benefits for me were immediate. Much easier than trying to dive right in on your own, a helpful guide.
And as Eckhart Tolle reminds us, every action can be a meditation on mindfulness:
"You can practice [witness consciousness] by taking any routine activity that normally is only a means to an end and giving it your fullest attention, so that it becomes an end in itself."
What are your favorite meditation practices?
Giving Your Future Self Gifts
January 2, 2017 § 6 Comments
["Twin Heart" by Christian Schloe]
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." ~Audre Lorde
A great many New Year's resolutions revolve around exercising self-discipline, which may in the moment yield less pleasure, but will create a better outcome in the future.
Yet, 25% of New Year's Resolutions are broken within the first week, and research at the University of Scranton suggests that only 8 % of people achieve their annual vows of self-improvement.
Recent research reveals that the part of the brain responsible for self-control is the same area that allows us to feel empathy.
["Mirror LLL" by Tigran Tsitoghdzyan]
The human brain perceives the future self as if it were a stranger.
Tests reveal that when we think about ourselves in the present, parts of our prefrontal cortex light up that remain dim when we think about a stranger—or try to imagine our future self.
"Empathy depends on your ability to overcome your own perspective, appreciate someone else's point of view, and step into their shoes," remarks science writer Ed Yong.
"Self-control is essentially the same skill, except that those other shoes belong to your future self—a removed and hypothetical entity who might as well be a different person." ("Self-Control Is Just Empathy For Your Future Self.")
The English word empathy finds its root in the Ancient Greek "pathos," which means "passion" or "suffering."
In the early 20th century, German philosopher, Robert Vischer, adapted the word to create the German term Einfühlung—literally "feeling into"—which was then translated into English as empathy, defined as "the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other being's frame of reference."
[From Gregory Colbert "Ashes & Snow" exhibition.]
Research has uncovered the existence of "mirror neurons," which react to emotions expressed by others and then reproduce them.
This is why we get caught up in the emotion of art & performance, as well as the reason we feel a twinge of discomfort when we witness someone else experiencing pain.
Some people—a case notably examined on the podcast "Invisibilia"-–have an overactive level of empathy, known as mirror-touch synesthesia, wherein they experience a debilitating level of physical empathy for any reaction witnessed in others.
"The capacity for empathy seems to be innate,"relates Jane E. Brodey, "and is evident even in other species — the adult elephant that tried to rescue a baby rhino stuck in the mud despite being charged by its mother, as recounted in "When Elephants Weep."("Empathy is Natural, But Nurturing it Helps.")
Empathy is a skill that can be learned & developed. The more we practice imagining what it feels like to be in another person's circumstance, the better we become at doing it—and at giving our future self gifts, not grief.
"Think of [it] as a kind of temporal selflessness," notes Ed Yong. "It's Present You taking a hit to help out Future You."
But for all the buzz empathy is getting these days, it's possible that its sister state, compassion, is the more constructive practice to cultivate.
Buddhist Monk & French writer, Matthieu Ricard-–known as "world's happiest man"—reflects that while empathy can lead to emotional burnout, the mood of compassion for another being is nourishing, energizing & empowering.
["The World's Happiest Man Wishes You Wouldn't Call Him That.']
The French monk details:
"The cerebral networks activated by meditation on compassion were very different from those linked to empathy. In the previous studies, people who were not trained in meditation observed a person who was seated near the scanner and received painful electric shocks in the hand. These researchers noted that a part of the brain associated with pain is activated in subjects who observe someone suffering. They suffer when they see another's suffering.
"When I engaged in meditation on altruistic love and compassion, [the researchers] noted that the network linked to negative emotions and distress was not activated, while certain cerebral areas traditionally associated with positive emotions, with the feeling of affiliation and maternal love, for instance, were." (From Matthieu Ricard's book, "Altrusim: The Power of Compassion To Change Yourself & The World.")
Empathy fatigue can breed avoidance of the distressing emotions that can accompany resonating with another's pain, but cultivating a focus on compassion is affirming & fortifying.
"When altruistic love encounters suffering it manifests as compassion," Ricard tells us. "This transformation is triggered by empathy, which alerts us to the fact that the other is suffering. One may say that when altruistic love passes through the prism of empathy, it becomes compassion."
French psychologist Christophe Andre writes, "We need the gentleness and the strength of compassion. The more lucid we are about the world, the more we accept seeing it as it really is, the easier it is to accept that we cannot face all the suffering that is encountered in the course of our lives unless we have this strength and this gentleness."
We can apply this same philosophy to those "strangers" of our future selves.
Unveiling The Mysterious Higher Self
September 3, 2016 § 6 Comments
"Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The Higher Self is whispering to you softly in the silence between your thoughts." ~ Deepak Chopra
"Through meditation, the Higher Self is seen." ~ Bhagavad Gita
In a time when depression & anxiety have become an international epidemic, we can no longer afford to throw the proverbial baby out with the bathwater—when we dismiss the idea that humanity has divine connections simply because religious dogma has made a mess of the sacred, we do just this.
We can observe that wherever great power exists, corruption will feed.
In this way we can deduce that the seed in the heart of all religious movements—the basic idea of a presence within us that transcends flesh & connects us with a vaster power—may be just such a smeared truth. I invite you to consider, as a thought experiment, that this is the case.
In rejecting the idea that we are more than we appear, we cut our power off at the roots before even exploring its possibility. It should be considered logically suspicious that what has potential to be our greatest power has been routinely corrupted from the beginning of time.
Modern thinking embraces logic as a hallmark of reason, it is therefore only reasonable to consider all possibilities when considering something as elusive, mysterious and important as our place within the universe.
While the the idea of a higher self has been revived in New Age literature, it is an ancient concept, dating back to the oldest sacred texts of India, The Vedas, a body of insights written by various sages after long periods of meditation between 1700-1100 BC.
The Vedas describe The Atman as the inner self or the soul, which is the true self or essence of an individual, beyond identification with form. In order to attain liberation, a human being must acquire self-knowledge (atma jnana), which is to realize that one's true self (Ātman) is identical with the transcendent self Brahman.
[Stellar Series by Ignacio Torres]
As pioneering thinker Terence McKenna said, "You have to take seriously the notion that understanding the universe is your responsibility, because the only understanding of the universe that will be useful to you is your own understanding."
But you don't have to meditate for hundreds of hours to touch this transcendent aspect of self, just block off five-to-ten minutes a day, preferably before you start your day, and go inward. As a thought experiment, open your mind to the grand untapped majesty that might await you, and investigate!
[Germany series by Aneta Ivanova]
What comes up when you focus your attention on connecting with the higher self? I'm not talking about the doubts and fears—push those aside, it's only a thought experiment. I'm talking about: what colors? What images or words? What feelings?
Here's an exercise. Think of a time when you felt most yourself, most alive and vibrant. Hone in on that feeling and stoke it like a fire with your attention. Then, see what comes up. The imagination is the language of the subconscious, which is the gateway to the higher self. Play, explore.
It is my experience that the better our relationship with our true selves is, the better we feel and the more we excel at what we do. So it is worth asking what your true self wants. And listening. It has rich gifts to share.
For me, discovering and forging a relationship with my higher self involved many years of trial and error, as well as an intensive year in shamanic psychotherapy, where I worked with a trained guide to re-integrate my fragmented self.
(*To work with this model yourself, check out my post: "Soul Retrieval. " If you have trouble connecting to your higher aspect, try doing this exercise a few times to clear the psychic debris.)
When I am aligned with the aspect of myself that I would call my true self or higher self, I make self-caring choices. There is a tenderness, a sweetness, a reverence at the heart of everything I do. I am kinder to others, I receive insights and visions and creative ideas…the world opens up.
My day is vastly improved if I give myself just a few minutes in the morning to tune in with my higher aspect and seek its guidance. To start the day out in this manner is a practice of many I have known and respected, and I highly recommend it. People have busy lives—do it in the bathroom if you have to. But connect, feel into this possibility, receive its impressions. There is a wealth of inspiration and insight waiting.
The conditioned mind, the mind society has groomed, has been trained into docile disconnection. The systems of control don't want you to be empowered. But there are answers and insights waiting beyond the conditioned mind. The higher self holds the key.
Getting Grounded: Re-Possession & Embodiment
June 7, 2016 § 4 Comments
"It was when I stopped searching for home within others and lifted the foundations of home within myself I found there were no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole." ~ Rupi Kaur
What does it mean to be grounded? We say it when we wish to describe someone who is very present, who seems steadily rooted in what is real—not flying off into some obscure mental space.
There is a spectrum of disassociation. On the one hand, we have Disassociative Identity Disorder, and on the other we have the common occurrence of zoning out for ten minutes of freeway driving, or losing ourselves to internal thoughts while someone is talking to us.
Groundedness is contagious. When we speak to someone who is very present, we find our own roots deepening.
Learning how to ground ourselves—and remembering to dip into our toolkit—is the most immediate respite from anxiety. It is essential in the mad rush of modern life. And it can be just a few centering thoughts away!
I would like to share with you a video blog post by my inspiring friend, trained transformational coach Alisha Westerman—she's got some fantastic tips on the subject!
Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?
January 1, 2015 § 15 Comments
"The journey itself is home." ~ Basho
"The only journey is the one within." ~ Rilke
January 1st 2015
As we move from one year to the next, we can not help but reflect upon where we've been & where we are going. Who we have been & who we wish to become.
"On The Road Again," by Susanne Van Hulst
The Uranus/Pluto square which began in 2012 comes to a close in 2015.
"Lives have been turned upside down," notes astrologist Sarah Varcos, "perspectives forever shifted, circumstances reshaped beyond recognition. We have lost the things, people and places we thought we could never live without and discovered new ways of being we thought were never possible.
"Some people have been touched more deeply than others. Some in resoundingly positive ways. Others have faced what has looked and felt like devastation.
"In very basic terms Uranus is sudden, unavoidable change and Pluto is destructive and/or creative power. When these two work together shocks and surprises are guaranteed, as is rebirth from the rubble of destruction and the possibility of a new life if we rise to the challenge and steel ourselves to ride the waves and see where we finally come to rest.."
Aberdeen Bestiary detail (12th C.)
Pluto—named after the Greek god of the underworld—associated with intense growth at any cost, barreled through our lives, ripping up all false truths and shallow roots, often painfully.
"Nothing and no one has been protected from the destructively creative grace conjured by the cosmos these past few years," notes Varcos. "The challenge for so many has been to let go and trust, to embrace the changes brought about no matter how devastating they may have felt at the time. To look into the darkness, of self, of other, of life and to recognize that within it lays the deepest wisdom, the most enduring truths."
On a collective level, the conversation surrounding rankism & the struggle of the marginalized has deepened & broadened, rising in visibility. ("Spectors of Oppression: Human Dignity & The Meaning of Difference.) In the spirit of Pluto, it has been intense, uncomfortable & necessary.
"This past year has been about acknowledging and owning the personal and collective shadow in order to recognize that it is not some dreadful realm to be feared, rejected and denied but simply another part of ourselves to be embraced, accepted and, in doing so, brought into the wholeness of all that we are."
Varcas notes that the theme for 2015 could be summed up as "show up, own up & step up; no holds barred!" (Read it here.)
This year we are asked to live the truths we've discovered over the past few years of struggle, not just when we feel motivated, but as a constant ongoing statement of who we are.
"Human Metaphmorphosis" series by Taylor James
For me, these past few years have entailed tremendous personal loss as well as profound self-discovery & growth. I've found my ability to survive (and even thrive amid) these times has depended greatly on my perspective of each trial as an initiation into deepened levels of awareness. Transformation is an essential touchstone of my journey. (Self Renewal & The Art of Transformation.)
Learning to know myself, accept who I am & act as much as possible in accordance with my own authenticity has been essential (Authenticity & The False Self.)
This focus on self-reclaimation lead me to make contact with the singing center of my own being, which I came to recognize as Soul, the inner Wisdom Keeper. (Soul-Retrival.)
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people will not feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone
and as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
~Marian Williamson, "A Return To Love."
Happy New Year.
On on, brave travelers!

There are myriad steps breakaway brokers must consider when opening up their own firms. Tom Giachetti, a partner with the law firm Stark & Stark in Princeton, New Jersey, detailed the steps breakaway brokers should take during a recent conference call.
What type of firm do you want to start? When deciding whether or not to become an independent RIA firm, advisors should first determine whether they want it to be a sole proprietorship, corporation, or limited liability company. I prefer a corporation or limited liability company, and whether or not you form a corporation or limited liability company will depend on state law considerations and different tax considerations.
What are the registration requirements for the advisor? Whether you're a registered rep, former wirehouse broker, or independent broker who now wants to become the principal of an independent firm, you have to pass a test in most states, and in most states you'll also have to register as an investment advisor representative of the new firm you're creating. In most states you'll need a Series 65 or Series 66 exam, although in many states there are exemptions for certain designations like CFA, CFP, and in some states CPA, and attorney.
How do you register the firm? Advisors can register the firm with the state or with the SEC. Firms with assets of less than $25 million register on a state level. Firms with more than $25 million may register with the SEC. Once firms reach $30 million and over, they must register with the SEC.
What is required if your firm is operating in other states? You have to worry about state notice and registration filing. If you register with the SEC on a federal level, you still have state obligations for your firm. You have to make a notice filing with the state to make sure the state knows you're doing business in the state as an investment advisor.
What else will the firm need? You'll need a written disclosure statement, the Form ADV, which is the most important document an advisor can have. It describes the scope of the services, fees, and conflicts of interest the firm or its representatives may have, and it provides transparency to the custodian and perspective clients.
What about the engagement with clients? Typically, there is a financial planning agreement between the RIA and the client. These agreements clearly indicate the services provided and the obligations of each party. Also, the SEC now requires firms to adopt and implement policies and procedures; most states are now following the SEC rules. You also have to be prepared for a regulatory examination.
How do you make the transition of accounts? Make sure you find a custodian that can assist you in doing this. Also make sure you do not provide any information to the custodian that might breach your duty of loyalty or your restricted covenant agreement with the wirehouse prior to your resignation.

Best places for family beach holidays in Zanzibar
On family holidays in Zanzibar, you can join watersports or simply relax on stunning tropical beaches. Come for powdery white sand framed by shady palm trees and the sparkling turquoise water of shallow lagoons!

WE Believe in real-life, experiential learning
Learning Re-Imagined
We are reinventing education, one student at a time.
The time has come to revolutionize the way we teach. The world has changed dramatically, and it is time for schools to adapt. We believe that a large number of boys are not being effectively educated and we plan to make a difference in the following ways:
Blended Learning
Blended Learning uses a combination of direct instruction and integrated technology. This allows flexibility in the learning process with the understanding that a "one size fits all" approach does not work for everyone. At North Point School we integrate laptops, tablets and interactive whiteboards into the daily routine.
Adaptive technology allows students to go at their own natural pace and master each lesson before moving on. Direct teaching ensures that students are in an active environment, learning specific concepts as set out by Alberta Education.
Experiential Learning
We believe that real world experience and application gives concepts purpose and deeper understanding. Whether outdoors in nature, in the community, in the engineering academy or during dramatic arts, we want our students learning by doing. There's plenty of research that shows how active learning, especially in boys, creates more durable neural pathways over passive, traditional learning methods.
Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand. – Chinese proverb
Socratic Teaching
Socratic teaching empowers students to analyse a topic, think for themselves, and express their opinions freely, while listening and respecting other points of view. We want students to be self-aware. Students gather in small groups to discuss various topics. Whether it is current events, a moment in history, a book or play that has been read, students learn to express their ideas in a safe, open environment. This process fosters critical thinking, self-confidence, language development and allows students to look for solutions through healthy, constructive debate. It is about giving students questions, not answers.
Strong, positive and energetic role models are critical to the mental, social, physical and emotional development of young boys as they travel through childhood, adolescence and on to adulthood. Our teachers are guides and facilitators helping prepare our North Point boys to become resourceful, resilient, relentless, responsible and respectful young men.
Skill Mastery
Simply put, Mastery Learning is ensuring that a student has a complete understanding of a concept before moving on to a more complex concept. In the traditional classroom, there is not enough time to wait for each student to master each concept. In the North Point learning model the use of adaptive technology and direct instruction allows a student to master a concept at his own pace. By achieving a complete understanding, students will achieve success, feeling good about themselves and their learning.
Outdoor Education and Physical Activity
North Point has a dedicated and substantial athletic and outdoor adventure component embedded daily into the curriculum. We believe that experience in the wilderness fosters courage, self-reliance, cooperation and resilience, while instilling a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world. Whether it is a challenging hike in the mountains, a river rafting journey or a ropes course, as students' mature, risk and achievement are necessities in forming their identity and confidence. Taking on challenges and overcoming adversity strengthens character. By stepping out of their comfort zone and taking managed risks in a safe environment, students gain a higher sense of self-esteem. We want the boys at North Point to leave as leaders with a strong sense of who they are.
The expanded ACTIVE program recognizes the importance of physical fitness and a multi-sport mindset, with the understanding that increased physical activity enhances classroom learning and a healthy lifestyle. The Physical Education and Athletic program at North Point is designed to improve our boys' overall physical fitness levels and provide them with an opportunity to try a wide variety of individual and team sports. Daily physical activity is a core component of the North Point School model. We understand the importance that rigorous physical activity plays for the mind, body and spirit.
At North Point, our boys connect with the community. We believe that schools should not exist in isolation and that our students should understand they are part of a bigger world. Boys receive exposure to different organizations, businesses and entrepreneurs sharing their entrepreneurial and service experience. Our school looks for ways to give back to the community as a part of leadership development. This community involvement cultivates compassion, understanding, tolerance and leadership in our North Point students.

How Far Do We Walk Our Dogs In A Lifetime?
Posted by: Tim Berrisford Date: 27/02/2012 Category: Dog Walking
A study has recently shown that dogs and their owners walk a massive 23,739 miles over their pet's life time. This study has been brought to attention after recent controversy over how often and how long should you walk your pet for.Three thousand pet took part in this study and have helped come up with the figure shown.
It is a great study that shows how much effort and time actually goes into owning a pet and looking after them. Walking your dog has great health benefits both for yourself and for your dog. As well as this incredible figure of miles, owners of their dogs did admit that they would love to walk their dog more and in fact their dog always seems eager to want to go out more for walks.
The main reasons for people not doing so, is they are too busy with work or other commitments, they want a day out or the weather. Dog owners also said that they prefer walks to the countryside however their lifestyle sometimes gets in the way of doing this. Over half of the people in the study said that walking their dog is their only form of daily exercise which is a staggering amount of people. Even this with statistic, 15 percent of dog owners say that walking their dog is one of the worst things about owning a dog.
Keeping your dog healthy by walking them regularly combined with a good diet and general lifestyle will reduce factors leading to trip to the vets and could even help you save money through doing so. Knowing these statistics hopefully will motivate people to get out there seven days a week and walk our dogs. Confining a dog to a small area will upset the dog and make the dog anxious. Allowing them a long walk daily and time in the garden is exactly what you need for a happy and healthy dog.
We would love to hear your views on this, how often do you think is enough, does it vary between breeds or should it be as much as your dog seems willing? To see a full range of dog walking products to help you when you are out with your dog see our dog walking section. Please let us know your views.

Rovers legends Ronnie Clayton and Bryan Douglas both made their World Cup bows at the sixth staging of the tournament in 1958.
'Dougie' started all three group games for England, who drew against the Soviet Union (2-2), Brazil (0-0) and Austria (2-2), but was left out of the side for the play-off decider.
Ronnie was brought into the starting XI for the first time for the showdown with the Soviet Union, but he was unable to prevent England from slipping to a narrow 1-0 defeat.
"It was fantastic to be picked and to appear in a World Cup, but it had come at the wrong time for me personally and also for the England team," said Bryan, who made over 500 appearances for Rovers between 1952 and 1969.
"In early 1958, we had the Munich Disaster and we lost three of the Manchester United players – three great players – and for me personally, we'd had a hard season.
"We got promotion that year, but every game was like a cup tie from round about Christmas, plus we got to the semi-final of the FA Cup, so we had a lot of hard games and to go out there, trying to be fresh, it was difficult.
"We drew all of our games, and one of them was Brazil, but we qualified for a play-off against Russia. In the play-off, I was left out of the team and a lad called Peter Brabrook from Chelsea played and in fact he was unfortunate because he headed one against the post, but they ended up getting beat.
"Having said that, I did enjoy the experience, despite being disappointed that we didn't get through to the next phase."
Rovers' other representative at the tournament in Sweden was Welshman Roy Vernon.
The forward, who won 32 caps for his country, was unused in the first two fixtures, as Wales were held to 1-1 draws by Hungary and Mexico.
Vernon was introduced for Wales' final group game – a goalless draw with Sweden – but then lost his place for the play-off game against Hungary, which Wales won 2-1.
Wales' World Cup adventure came to an end in the knockout stage following a 1-0 defeat to Brazil, who went on to beat hosts Sweden 5-2 in the final.

Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to author Jeff VanderMeer's upcoming thriller novel Annihilation, and the subsequent sequels in what he is calling the "Southern Reach Trilogy."
The story centers on a biologist, who volunteers for an expedition inside Area X, an environmental disaster site that the government has secretly sealed off for the past 30 years. She joins a faction known as the Southern Reach, an organization which has lead 11 missions into the area, all of which have failed. The story is told through the biologist's perspective, who discovers serene wilderness inside of Area X, while finding that the laws of nature aren't exactly the same.
Scott Rudin is producing alongside Eli Bush. No screenwriter or director has been attached at this time. Annihilation will be published early next year, although it isn't known when the sequel books will debut.

I often hear people say they don't know how to pray, they are plagued with a feeling of guilt, resigning themselves to never having a true relationship with Jesus.
Even those with are not religious would like to know what God has to say, many long to believe, some even say,
"I don't believe it's true – but I wish it were'"
Faith is a gift and the Saints tell us,
"You will receive from God according to your faith."
But how do we get that faith? We must ask God for it and then begin to pray with a feeling of expectancy.
In bygone ages it was common to have a Spiritual Director to guide us in our prayer life but in today's world, that's not always possible. As you read these blogs I'll tell you about some of the best of these and hopefully you'll go on to buy their books and with their help, develop a profound and deeply meaningful prayer life.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, France was rich in Spiritual Writers – my problem is which of them to choose because there were so many but I would like to introduce you to some of my favourites, one of whom was a French mystic born in 1874 named Gabrielle Bossis who documented her simple talks with Jesus in her journals, intimate conversations. She called it "Lui et Moi" (He and I") and Daniel Rops, the famous French author and historian, called it one of the most authentic masterpieces of spiritual literature he had ever encountered.
Gabrielle was born in Nantes in France and from being an extremely shy. fearful, little girl, she grew up to be a graceful, high-spirited young lady. From her childhood she possessed a secret yearning for God, which led her into frequent contemplation. When her contemplative life came to the notice of the Franciscan priest who was directing her, he felt convinced that she had a strong vocation to the religious life. Gabrielle resisted his suggestion, preferring, led by an interior guidance, to remain in the world. She obtained a degree in nursing and quite late in life discovered she had another talent, that of writing entertaining and thoroughly moral plays, which at that time were much in demand by Church clubs. Her first play, in which she acted the principal part, was such a success that before long her name became known throughout France and even in far distant countries. On rare occasions in her early life, Gabrielle had been surprised by a mysterious voice, which she felt, with awe, to be the voice of Christ
It was only at the age of 62 while travelling to Canada that this touching dialogue with the inner voice, began in earnest, continuing for fourteen years, until two weeks before her death on June 9th 1950
The journal she began is an extraordinary revelation of the double role she was called upon to play on life's stage, that of a quiet contemplative, yet exceptionally active woman, exposed to all the hurly burly of every day life in the world. From the word within her, Gabrielle learned of her mission to record and publish what she heard, so that people might know that the life of intimacy with Christ was not reserved for those in cloisters but for every man woman and child no matter what their state in life might be. Her first volume carefully records the sayings of "He and I" and was published anonymously in 1948. She lived to see its phenomenal dissemination, yet no one every guessed the identity of the author. With the ever-increasing demand for more of her notes, a second volume was published which did reveal her identity but so well had she hidden her secret, her friends were utterly astonished when they found out.
The book appealed to people from all walks of life, and across all denominations. An Irish psychiatrist, Mary Hynes, wrote that a woman patient had told her the book had transformed her emotional life and had liberated her from a host of phobic fears. She said, "He and I" had worked, where pills and psychiatry had failed.
Mary went on, "I promptly bought 12 copies of this extraordinary spiritual classic to give to my friends, as a mini-apostolate, keeping my original book of course, as my own great treasure."
Look out for more on Gabrielle in my next post.

People who have never had a problem with addiction often find it hard to understand what makes addicts chase after drugs, alcohol or any other mind-altering substance. The disease of addiction starts long before the person picks up a drink or a drug. It starts with an inner emptiness that feels like it can't be filled. [Read more…]

I love that word obstinate. To me it stands for stubbornness, willfulness and "stick-to-it." If you're heading into a battle, these are handy virtues to carry along. I realize it can be irritating to be the parent of an obstinate child. As many of us know, it can also be difficult to be married to a stubborn person. There are, however, times when this can be the greatest of all gifts, a virtue, actually. I think my favorite mental picture is that which is evoked by the synonym "mulish." Can't you just feel the heart in that word, mulish, thinking about that little or maybe large mule, stubbornly, steadfastly and boldly standing firm, refusing to move. When he's ready, then, and only then, will he move.
Some of us are just naturally born obstinate. Hands on hips, lips curled, nose piqued and knees locked we stand against life. It can make us a real pain in the old tush for our families and those who cross our paths in life, but it sure can come in handy when we need to stand up to our own health problems. Persistence will take us much farther than self-pity. Of course, self-pity has its place when we must grieve for our lost health but eventually, when our tears dry we have to go back into the battle. Today I'd like to share with you one of my favorites among the many fables of the ancient bard Aesop.
Once there was a thirsty crow. She had flown a long way looking for water to drink.
Suddenly she saw a pitcher. She flew down and saw it held a little water, but it was so low in the pitcher that she could not reach it.
"But I must have that water," she cried,
I am too weary to fly farther. What shall I do? I know! I'll tip the pitcher over."
She beat it with her wings, but it was too heavy. She could not move it.
Then she thought awhile. "I know now! I will break it! Then I will drink the water as it pours out. How good it will taste!"
With beak and claws and wings she threw herself against the pitcher. But it was too strong.
The poor crow stopped to rest. "What shall I do now? I cannot die of thirst with water close by. There must be a way, if I only had wit enough to find it out."
After a while the crow had a bright idea. There were many small stones lying about. She picked them up one by one and dropped them into the pitcher. Slowly the water rose, till at last she could drink it. How good it tasted!
"There is always a way out of hard places," said the crow, "if only you have the wit (and obstinacy) to find it."
Let us all resolve to be stubborn, mulish and pig-headed as we face down a life more difficult than most. Let us take pride in the obdurate life as strength is called for in the most difficult of times. It doesn't really matter much if we have those traits in a life of daisy chains and sunshine but they are sorely needed when we need to "reach water" and have to figure out a way to do it. Don't give up my dears. Life is worth the battle, even if it often doesn't feel worthy of the battle. Tomorrow will be different. The spirit, your will, your faith and your hope in rough times, and yes, your obstinacy; these are everything.

"If you're not going to defend key players in critical situations and you're not going to hit key shots at critical times, you're going to put yourselves in jeopardy. You look around, and you're looking for leadership. You're looking for someone to pull his pants up, pull his socks up, flatten his nose out and go get the ball, go take a charge, go get a stop.
[As a side note, I was at the OSU-Cal game at Haas Pavilion and thought OSU's Coach Robinson did a good job of coaching for 40 minutes of play. His team played hard and, even when they trailed, they played as if they could win. Give OSU's assistants credit for preparing their guys, as Coach Robinson was in D.C. for the inauguration and missed a practice leading up to the game. OSU's 1-3-1 defense was excellent, as was their execution of the Princeton offense. OSU's Roeland Schaftenaar (6-11, 240) had 22 points and stretched the Cal defense by connecting on all four of his three-pointers.
As for Cal, the Bears lead the nation in 3-point shooting and now need to establish an inside game to complement the perimeter play or create more off the dribble to score more points in the paint.] Cal Player of note , Jerome Randle 5 of 10 from 3 point land and 8 assist .

It wasn't all chilling out in the 35 degree heat whilst we were vacationing in Fort Myers back in 2016. Whilst the days chilling out on the gorgeous Fort Myers Beach was certainly refreshing after spending 2 weeks hitting the Disney Parks hard, we were also very keen to explore what Fort Myers had to offer!
Part way through our weeks stay at Fort Myers we decided to take a trip to Naples which was about a 48 minute drive from our hotel the pink shell resort. Our destination was the Audubon corkscrew swamp sanctuary, we had done a little bit of research online beforehand and decided that this looked perfect for a day out.
We arrived here at a little after 10am, I think we visited on a Thursday, which meant that it was very quiet, there was only a few other vehicles in the whole parking lot! The admission was $14 per person, and I believe the boardwalk is open everyday from 7am – 5:30pm.
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary occupies approximately 13,000 acres in the heart of the Corkscrew Watershed in Southwest Florida, part of the Western Everglades. It is primarily composed of wetlands. Corkscrew provides important habitat for numerous Federal and State listed species, including the Florida Panther, American Alligator, Gopher Tortoise, Florida Sandhill Crane, Limpkin, Roseate Spoonbill, Snowy Egret, Tricolored Heron, White Ibis, Big Cypress Fox Squirrel and the Florida Black Bear. Several rare plants are also found here, most notably the Ghost Orchid. Visitors will find a gentle, pristine wilderness that dates back more than 500 years. A 2.25-mile boardwalk meanders through pine flatwood, wet prairie, around a marsh and finally into the largest old growth Bald Cypress forest in North America.
Exploring the boardwalk at our own leisurely pace was great, the scenery is stunning and I really wanted to see as much a nature as I could! The trail was so quiet, sometimes it felt like we were the only people out there!
There is so much to see and do you really can't get bored, there's different species of butterfly and caterpillar and we saw raccoons and a huge crocodile! (Okay we missed it at first!…. but we saw it eventually!)
I think we easily spent 3 hours exploring, taking photos and reading up on the local wildlife, and trying to spot different species. I recommend that you take water with you, as you tend to walk miles and miles, bug spray to keep those mosquito away! binoculars (wish I'd thought of that before I went), and of course a camera for all those pictures you'll be taking whilst walking around the boardwalk!

Biography thanks to TARDIS Wikia
James Robert "Jamie" McCrimmon was a Highland Scotfrom the mid-18th century who travelled with the Second Doctor, Polly, Ben, Victoria and Zoe. He also had a couple of adventures with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (The Web of Fear, The Invasion) as well as the Sixth Doctor and Peri (The Two Doctors, The World Shapers).
Jamie travelled in the TARDIS for most of The Doctor's second incarnation. His journeys through time and space began not long after The Doctor's first regeneration (The Tenth Planet) and continued until the Time Lords sentenced The Doctor to exile on Earth. Jamie was returned to 18th century Scotland by the Time Lords, with the memory of all but his first adventure with The Doctor erased. (The War Games)
Whether the Time Lords' memory removal actually held was not well understood. It was posited that he travelled alone with the Second Doctor (Invasion of the Quarks) and that he did so when he was clearly middle-aged (The Two Doctors) — neither of which happened prior to his Time Lord-enforced return to Scotland. By 1788, the second mindwipe was still intact and he then chose to forget again in possibly a third mindwipe. (The Glorious Revolution) Another account held that as an old man he had overcome the mindwipe, as the Time Lords held an imperfect understanding of the human mind. This was prior to having an adventure with the Sixth Doctor in which he gave his life saving the Universe from Cybermen. (The World Shapers)
Jamie was born in 1724 to Donald McCrimmon. (Shadow of Death)
Jamie learned to play the chanter at his father's knee from an early age and became a talented piper like his father and grandfather before him. (The Highlanders) He grew up with his father and brothers, and they did some farming. He idolised Scottish heroes such as William Wallace. (On a Pedestal)
Jamie and his father used to go grouse hunting in the Highlands. (The Nameless City)
Jamie, then 22 years old (Shadow of Death), first met the Second Doctor in the aftermath of the English defeat of the Jacobite Rebellion at the Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746, when he was a piper for the Clan McLaren. Jamie and his fellow Highlanders faced being hung, butchered by the Duke of Cumberland or sold into unsurvivable seven-year servitude on the plantations in the West Indies. After escaping the gallows, an unsure Jamie was urged to follow The Doctor, Ben and Polly into the mysterious TARDIS. (The Highlanders)
Separated from The Doctor in 71 BC, Jamie, Polly and Ben found themselves in the company of Spartacus in Bruttium. Jamie, having early on blocked Polly's view of corpses in a torched villa, reacted with weariness to the cause to free slaves from the Roman Empire (a cause which similarly ended in defeat with the rebels being crucified by Pompey). Surprisingly, he simply wanted to get back to the TARDIS. However, he helped against Crassus and protected his fellow companions. (The Slave War)
Jamie tried to understand his new experiences in terms of his life in 1746. When he encountered a Cyberman whilst on his sick bed on the Moonbase, he believed that it was his clan's legend of the Phantom Piper and he was dying. (The Moonbase) This natural acceptance and a desire to rationalise things helped Jamie grasp the worlds he saw aeroplanes at Gatwick Airport were "flying beasties" to him. He was fascinated by them and by the airport and stole a ticket from Samantha Briggs so he could take a flight. Unfortunately, having never experienced anything like it, he got airsick. A Chameleon, who spoke with an English rather than Scots accent, assumed Jamie's form during this adventure. (The Faceless Ones)
Shortly after, in an adventure involving the Daleks and their quest for the human Factor, The Doctor's manipulation of those around him caused Jamie to decide to have nothing more to do with him; he thought The Doctor was working with the Daleks to save his own skin. However, it was really manipulation by the Doctor to anger Jamie so that he'd stop at nothing to rescue the young Victoria from her captivity by the Daleks. When the humanised Daleks and regular Daleks had destroyed each other, and with her father, a Dalek collaborator, having sacrificed himself to save The Doctor, The Doctor and Jamie "adopted" the orphaned Victoria. (The Evil of the Daleks)
Jamie attempted to infiltrate the corrupt Salamander's government. (The Enemy of the World)
Jamie evidenced strong, unspoken feelings for Victoria, which often showed themselves in his teasing her about her new, more revealing clothes. (The Ice Warriors) While undercover in Salamander's guard, Jamie and Victoria posed as boyfriend and girlfriend. (The Enemy of the World) He showed bursts of bravery and bravado directed at anyone who would harm her. When thinking something had happened to the unconscious Victoria, he worriedly exclaimed that he'd never forgive himself if anything happened to her. He got angry when he thought she had tricked him and had heard his emotional outburst. Jamie was upset when Victoria stated her intention to stay with the Harrises and tried to get her to change her mind and stay with The Doctor and him. Although he never admitted his feelings for her, during their goodbye, he left her with a kiss. When The Doctor and Jamie left in the TARDIS, he watched Victoria waving goodbye on the scanner and said he couldn't care less where they went. (Fury from the Deep)
While on the Wheel, which was being attacked by Cybermen and Cybermats, Jamie gave The Doctor his oft-used "John Smith" alias. at the conclusion of this adventure, Zoe Heriot joined The Doctor and Jamie. (The Wheel in Space) Jamie got along with her very well, despite her teasing him for his intelligence, even though Zoe came from a 21st century background very much unlike his own. In the Land of Fiction, Jamie temporarily changed into a different youth of the same age when The Doctor failed to put together his facial features correctly in a test. (The Mind Robber)
When Zoe and Isobel Watkins were abducted by Tobias Vaughn, The Doctor and Jamie investigated him and evaded Packer, whom Jamie tackled to the ground. Jamie was pleased to have been given a small radio and didn't want The Doctor to break it when he suspected the gift. The Doctor and "the boy" were recognised by U.N.I.T.'s former Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart, now promoted to Brigadier, from their meeting during the Yeti attack in the London Underground four years prior (though a shorter time from The Doctor and Jamie's perspective). (The Web of Fear) Jamie's leg was injured by a Cyberman's grip while climbing out of the sewers where he and the girls had gone to photograph the Cyberman. After a stay in the hospital, Jamie left with The Doctor and Zoe to stunned surprise at the sight of the appearing and disappearing TARDIS. (The Invasion)
When The Doctor asked the Time Lords to intercede to return the victims of the War Lords, Jamie desperately urged The Doctor to escape his sentencing in the TARDIS, but submitted when they could not, promising to never forget The Doctor. A tribunal of Time Lords told The Doctor that they would return Zoe and Jamie to their homes. They would also alter Zoe and Jamie's memories, allowing them to only remember their first adventures with The Doctor, but not their travels with The Doctor in the TARDIS. The Doctor watched Jamie, now back in 1746 at the Battle of Culloden, come to the momentarily confused realisation of where he was. Jamie was fired at by a Redcoat, whom he then ran after with a sword, proudly yelling, "Creag an tuirc!" for the Clan McCrimmon. (The War Games)
The Doctor undertook a mission for the Time Lords and blackmailed them into having Jamie by his side. The Time Lords consented, altering Jamie's memories to make him believe that he was still travelling with The Doctor and Victoria, who had in fact left the TARDIS to live out the rest of her life on Earth. (World Game)
Jamie accompanied The Doctor on a diplomatic mission to Space Station Chimera. Here, Jamie believed he saw The Doctor killed in a massacre by Sontarans. The Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown appeared, causing the now-feral Jamie, who had taken to living in crawl spaces, to attack Peri. Subsequently, Jamie helped to rescue "his" Doctor, who had not died and had been taken to Seville, Spain in 1985. Jamie spent much of his time evading and being captured by Shockeye, who planned to eat him. When this adventure had concluded, Jamie left with The Doctor in the TARDIS, intending to someday rejoin Victoria, whom he had been told was studying graphology. (The Two Doctors)
Jamie later experienced the events with a murderous songstress named Mindy Voyeur and The Doctor shunting Helicon Prime back into the Golden Section. (Helicon Prime)
He was temporarily left in 1967, where he began working at a Scottish radar station. He assisted The Doctor in battles against the ruthless Quarks (Invasion of the Quarks, Jungle of Doom), giant wasps (The Killer Wasps) and other creatures.
He was later deposited back in the Scottish Highlands, his memories altered once more by the Time Lords.
Jamie went on to marry Kirsty McLaren and they had "more bairns than there are days in the week", with numerous grandchildren by 1788. In order to correct a mistake that was made in 1688, where Jamie tried to help King James II and ensure a victorious future for Scotland and Bonnie Prince Charlie, a visitor from the CIA came to help alter history back to its original course. However, Jamie chose to once again forget the memories of his adventures with The Doctor that were brought back, as he and Kirsty had a good life together. (The Glorious Revolution)
While out on the moors, Jamie appeared to have been struck by lightning on a bright, clear day. The men who found him noted that the heather around him had been dotted with flame and that his head had been smoking. Nurse Muir watched over him, with him only remembering her bandaging his head when he was first brought in seemingly days earlier. He began to remember travelling in the TARDIS with The Doctor, including the incident on Helicon Prime, and told the nurse of his adventure. The nurse was revealed to be Mindy Voir, who wanted the Fennus treasure from him, as he had the knotted pendant that was stolen by The Doctor. She began to sing with her deadly voice. As he began to unwind the knot, voices whispered to him from within it. Mindy became trapped inside the pendant when he finally undid the knot. When Jamie awoke, he knew his identity, but did not know how he came to be under the bed in the wrecked, burnt room. (Helicon Prime)
Jamie meets the Sixth Doctor as an old man. (The World Shapers)
When the Sixth Doctor next met him, he had miscalculated and arrived forty years later than he had intended to. Jamie lived as an elderly pariah in his village and lamented that The Doctor shouldn't have had to see him as an old man. Jamie had managed to retain memories of his travels using tricks The Doctor had taught him and because the Time Lords had a less-than-perfect understanding of the human mind.
After he told others about them, the locals believed his wartime experiences had driven him slightly mad. Jamie vindicated himself by vanishing in the TARDIS before the whole village sand then helped The Doctor, Peri and Frobisher fight the Cybermen on Marinus. He saved the universe using his sword to destroy the Worldshaper device; this let out a blast that aged him to death. (The World Shapers)
On 11 October 2013 it was announced The Web Of Fear and Enemy of the World were returned to the BBC.

A version of Jamie appeared in a "hellscape" dream the Eleventh Doctor created while the mind parasite Mr Waites fed off the worst thing Doctor could imagine. In the dream, The Doctor worked in the Mediation Sector of the Department of Commonality. He turned away Jamie when he was to be sent to a work camp. The Doctor said it was above his authority. (John Smith and the Common Men)
Behind The Scenes
- McCrimmon is the anglicised form of the Gaelic Mac Ruimein "son of Ruimen", which is the Gaelic form of the Old Norse personal name Hroðmundr, composed of hród "fame" + mundr "protection". This was the name of a famous family of pipers for the Clan MacLeod.
- Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines met in 1964 on the set of Smuggler's Bay (also wiped by the BBC), during which Patrick recalled Frazer injuring his hand through a pane of glass and mentioned it to him when they reunited on The Highlanders. Patrick and Frazer were friends in real life and were known for indulging in innuendo and playing practical jokes, usually on their female co-stars, on set and during rehearsals.
- Jamie was never intended to become a companion, but the production liked the actor and rewrote the ending of The Highlanders to bring Jamie aboard the TARDIS (he originally departed aboard the Annabelle). Jamie's original Highlander accent was deemed unsuitable (a bit monotone) for a continuing companion and was changed to a "television Scots" accent, although Frazer could do both.
- Frazer said he played the part as if he had fallen in love with Victoria, though no admittance of this was ever spoken on-screen.
- Hamish Wilson briefly replaced Frazer Hines during The Mind Robber.
- During the making of The Mind Robber, Frazer caught chicken pox from his nephew. Hamish Wilson, who looked very unlike him, filled in for him. The justification for this formed part of the plot of the story. A persistent myth (debunked by the episode notes) describes the latter actor as Frazer's cousin. However, Frazer's brother, Ian Hines, has a small role in the story as one of the Clockwork Soldiers.
- Jamie was to depart in a Season 6 story called The Laird of McCrimmon, which would have been set in 18th century Scotland and seen the return of the Great Intelligence and the Yeti. However, this was never made due to a dispute between the BBC and Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln, the creators of the Intelligence and the Yeti, over the rights to the Quarks. Frazer's agent wanted him to leave the show, but Patrick persuaded Frazer, who was reluctant to leave, that they would depart together.
- Jamie was the first (and for many years, only) television companion to appear in the comic strips.
- Jamie was the first established TV companion to be killed off in licensed spin-off media.
- Jamie would have had a cameo in The Three Doctors, except that Frazer had a prior work commitment onEmmerdale Farm. The show also prevented Frazer from having more than two days off to film his cameo in The Five Doctors. Had he been available, Jamie would have been the Second Doctor's designated companion instead of the Brigadier. It was seeing Patrick and Frazer reunite that inspired John Nathan-Turner to bring them back for The Two Doctors.
- American author Diana Gabaldon was inspired to create the Outlander series after watching an episode of Doctor Who on PBS. The episode in question was from The War Games. Gabaldon set her story in Scotland and included a highlander named Jamie Fraser as a main character. Despite rumors, the surname Fraser was not suggested by the name of the actor playing Jamie, Frazer Hines. It is a coincidence.
- Frazer Hines was recently visiting the TARDIS set with Peter Capaldi
