Introduction: Make the children become aware of what is the intelligence of our body?

Goals: To make the children understand the intelligence of the different parts of our body like digestive system, brain, heart and every cell.

Click: Intelligence of our body

About the topic: Intelligence of the digestive system: The whole process of converting bread to blood is such a complex and delicate one, requiring fine intelligence to convert the different types of food into energy to run the body. We swallow the food it passes through the throat into the food pipe. Beautifully the food is blocked from going into the wind pipe instead of food pipe by the epiglottis. Depending on the type of food taken in like carbohydrates, proteins and fats, the digestive mechanism varies. All the complex food we eat takes just a few hours to digest and be absorbed into our system. Imagine not even a single process has to be consciously thought about. Intelligence of brain: mind boggling intelligence operates inside a structure that is just about two fist sizes. Even a computer cannot perform the amazing array of parallel tasks that the brain performs every millionth of a second. Intelligence of the heart: the body and the heart function in such a beautiful synchronicity. The natural pacemaker in the heart sets off as an electrical impulse every few seconds. This impulse creates an electromagnetic field, which is sent to the whole body. Because of this resonance each cell not only does its own specialized function but also adapts to the activity of its neighboring cell, so our body can function in a completely integrated

# YOU ARE INTELLIGENCE

When our body can digest food, pump blood, adapt to environment and at the same time perform a thousand other complicated tasks without help from outside we have to accept that there is an intelligent energy driving it. When we eat with awareness we will never feel the heaviness because you will never overeat. When we become conscious of what we are doing, many things will drop by themselves. Every cell in our body has intelligence. Our body has a natural self-healing energy. There is an automatic body intelligence which is constantly rejuvenating and even replacing the cells in our entire body.

Assessment:

  • Does our body have natural intelligence?
  • Do we consciously think about each process going on in our body systems?
  • Where do we have our intelligence?
  • Which is more capable our brain or a computer? Why are we not able to use our brain like a computer?
  • When we can trust our intelligence to take care of our breathing ,
  • heart beating and so on, why can't we trust our intelligence for other outwardly things? How do great discoveries happen? Why do we state our brain is more capable than any other equipment?

Evaluation: Ask the children to talk about the intelligence in each part of our body

Conclusion: Trust our body intelligence. All you need to do is just trust the

LESSON: 6

Introduction: Introduce the children to the intelligence existing in nature and about learning lessons from experience

Goals: To make the children understand the intelligence exists in nature and space is not a criterion for thoughts. Explain that intelligence is not the experience but the lessons learned from the experience.

Click: Learn from experience

About the topic: Universal or cosmic intelligence existing in our nature responds to every thought of ours. The moment our ego comes into play we become insensitive to nature. When you feel that you are a separate identity, the innocent way of relating is lost. What happens in our mind affects not only us but also those around us. Space is not a criterion. They simply travel in air. That is why in our thoughts, if we express worry and negative thoughts a lot, the very atmosphere for our family members becomes heavy. They are affected by the negativity. Intelligence is not the totality of your experiences, but the lessons learned from those experiences. Understanding happens only if you are open and spontaneous without prejudice. The power of intention in a mental plane can cause something to happen in the physical plane. That is why it becomes very important to have the right intention at all time.

For healing or transformation of your being the basic needs you changing the ideas of what you are or what you think as you that is the

The kids who are given right understanding and idea about their body and mind, they not only live long, they live happily. Happiness, bliss, joy, health. All these things are nothing but an idea you carry about your body and mind from the young age. I've seen your idea about future creating miracles inside the body, physical body. Even the physical body it creates miracles. It does miracles. Mind is a great accountant. He can play all accounts games.

# YOU ARE INTELLIGENCE

Activity-Mixing up right and left- focus and brain power

Goals: This activity is simple and full of fun. It shows how we can use both right and left hands while doing simple tasks to enhance our skills and use both sides of our brain.

Material required:
• Any food (lunch)
• Silverware.
• Drinking cup
• Water pitcher

Presentation: Gather the class and discuss the activities. Explain that we are going to work on using the left and right sides of the brain by expanding our knowledge and experience and putting it in to practice. Have them, use their left hand if they are right handed and vice versa. Give them the food and ask them to feed themselves and see how much focus it takes to do this naturally. Give them a water pitcher and cup. Ask them to carefully pour and drink the water, all of them using their left hand. Ask everyone to fold (cross) their arms. Observe if it's right over left and ask them to reverse it.

Conclusion: We do many things out of habit, just following a routine or schedule. But when we focus inwardly, we realize that every moment is auspicious, we can learn something new every second. We need to challenge our brain and that can be accomplished by living in the moment.
