LESSON: 5🔗

Introduction: Introduce the children about the different rules and the reason for following the rules.

Goals: The children to understand what are right rules to follow.

Click of the topic: RULES as Magic words

About the topic: Set of rules can be given initially to help children not to move from the path of consciousness. Consciousness is intelligent energy of your being. When you have understanding, any correct rule can become a friendly technique to live life happily. Rules and rituals are actually techniques for your own enlightenment, blissful life, full of clarity. Of course, when pursued deeply, it will lead to the ultimate state of enlightenment. Rules are possible only when it workable. For example if you keep a rule for the children –“No playing” it will definitely not work . We are going to follow only the rules which we understand:

Participate with yourself and be aware of your actions –this is the best and the first rule in life, which will apply for everything. If you do something with participation - awareness, it will go away and will bring us to deeper levels. We will focus on being happy, in bliss - every time when the ego comes out we experience bliss. “I” has a big army, millions of soldiers, our negative thoughts. “I” is a warrior, waiting to fight the bliss, saying 'You should not exist here'.

Stop Proving ( stop trying to look good) -we are constantly trying to satisfy others, we want to 'look good' in front of people, we don't want to fail Stop proving yourselves: When every time we try to prove ourselves we will lose our happiness, proving ourselves will not lead to any result. Proving ourselves means that we are not being with our self, we are in ego not in our heart. Ego creates all kinds of conditions for us, to be what we are not.

Compassion - Love others: For no reason We share: If you share with others you can see the happiness in them and seeing that your inner space expands plus you will have a big friend circle. -we were born to be healers, when we speak to somebody they should feel relaxed, if we are not healing, that means we have some resistance In life everything has a message.

Accept - Let go: we let go all the worries and stress to have a peaceful happy life. We let go to make ourselves ego proof. Accepting is a very powerful tool. When we accept completely we are more connected.

You are unique – stop comparing

Thank you – not to be polite, but to express your gratitude – Thank you is melt down

Unclutch And explain to them why we need to follow the rules. We must understand rules are there to help us. All rules and regulations were created for a harmonious life and happy life, but the moment we internalize the rules without the understanding, we create guilt.

Assessment: ● What is the best rule in life? ● What do we mean when we say “participate with yourselves”? ● What is proving? Where is it coming from? ● What should we accept? ● When should we unclutch? ● How to use 'Thank you'? ● Are we using 'Thank you' to be polite or is it helping us to melt down? ● How can we express compassion? ● Why shouldn't we compare?

Evaluation: Evaluate their knowledge on the topic by asking multiple questions.

Materials needed: White sheet, Pencil (or) Sketch pen

Procedure: .Give each child the materials needed. Encourage the children to draw any picture blind folded. Children then can see the picture which they have drawn and talk about it.

Inference: Connect to the concept that guilt makes us blind so that we cannot see the real picture Explain to the children when we are in guilt we will not make correct decisions, we cannot see the real picture.

Goals: Make the children understand about the concept of guilt.

Preparation: Get some beads / stones and ask the children to sit in a circle.

Presentation: Ask the children to sit it a circle and explain to the children that one child has to take few beads without showing others with their fist closed and must ask others whether they are having even, or odd beads/stones. They can also avoid taking any beads and have empty fist and ask the other children whether they have odd, even or none. Each child will take turns and play this game.

Interpretation: A child when showing empty closed fist sometimes, cannot hide because their face will show as they may laugh or keep very quiet. Connect it to the concept if we do something which leads to guilt we cannot hide it.
