ABOUT THE CHARKA
Emotion: love
Chakra: Anahata
Location:
Heart region In Sanskrit,
Anahata means 'that which
cannot be created'. Pure love
can never be created. It flowers
on its own. This chakra is
locked when you seek attention
and love from others, and it
flowers when you express selfless
love without expecting anything
in return!
Meditation Technique to be an innocent and egoless being:
Mahamantra Meditation-a Tibetan Buddhist technique
INTRODUCTION TO ATTENTION NEED
INTRODUCTION:
To introduce to the children about attention need
GOALS:
To make them understand attention need
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
You will not be at ease without the
appreciation and endorsement of the
people around you.
ABOUT THE TOPIC:
Whatever we do, whatever we think, we are subconsciously seeking concurrence and approval from the people around us in some subtle way. We are very keen that we should earn a good name from everyone. We may not do this in a very obvious fashion, but if you analyze deeply, you will not be at ease without the appreciation and endorsement of the people around you. This endorsement, this approval, is what we call 'attention-need'. 80% of our problems are due to this asking for attention or approval. You will find that all the 24 hours, all your lifetime, you are involved in getting approval from others.

GAME OF THE DAY:
A GUIDE IN THE DARK Get all the players in the group to pair off two by two. One member of each team is blindfolded and spun around several times the other is given a torch. Rearrange various objects in the room like chairs and tables, turn off the lights and pick a destination for each pair, such as the piano, the computer chair, etc. The person with the flashlight has to guide their partner to that certain spot by telling the other player to go left, right, 10 steps etc. Let each team try 1 pair at a time for practice. Then each team picks a destination from slips of paper put into a hat. Now everybody goes at the same time, the first person to get their partner to the destination wins.

iNTRODUCTiON
ATTENTiON iS ENERGY
INTRODUCTION
Introduce to the children about attention is energy.
GOALS
To make them understand attention is energy
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
We don't know anything about
ourselves
ABOUT THE TOPIC:
Why do we bother so much about
others' opinions about us? Why can't
we judge ourselves by our own strength
and continue to do our work? Why are
we deriving strength from others? All
this is because of two things:
One: we don't know anything about
ourselves. We know ourselves only
through others' opinions of us, only
through others' certificates.
Second: when others give us their
approval and attention, they are
actually giving us energy to move on.
Attention is energy! That is why we feel
so boosted when they give us attention.
Attention in any form is alright for us.
Don't think that only
positive attention is energizing!
Any form of attention is energizing
OBJECTIVES
¤ Why do we bother about
others' opinions about us?
¤ Why can't we judge ourselves
by our own strength and
continue to do our work?
¤ Why are we deriving strength
from others?
¤ Do we know everything about
us?
¤ How do we know ourselves?
¤ Which is energy?
¤ Why do we feel so boosted
when they give us attention?
