GOING BEYOND DEPRESSiON OR NEGATiViTY.

INTRODUCTION:
Teach the children about going beyond depression or negativity.
GOALS:
To make the children understand how the mind is an excellent recording system.
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
If you go beyond inner chatter
even for a few moments you will
become more alive.
ABOUT THE TOPIC:

The mind is an excellent recording system. It stores your negative thought patterns, your complexes and your worries. Whatever you teach the mind, it learns and repeats faithfully. This is how you create a solid mental make-up of negativity. So be very careful what you tell your mind. We always take so much care in how we speak to others, but we never care about how we speak to ourselves. Just like poor eating habits cause cholesterol to accumulate in your arteries, constant worrying causes worries to solidify in your being. In the same way as cholesterol create blockages in your arteries, worry creates blockages in your energy.

Over a period of time, worrying becomes part of your nature; it becomes an unconscious act. Even if you reason with your worries the low mood still remains. If you go beyond inner chatter even for a few moments, you will become more aware, more alive. You will understand that worry is unreal, unnecessary.

DROP WORRY
AND
ENTER INTO
THE MOMENT.

GOALS:
To make the children understand that worry is nothing but familiar developing patterns entering our minds.
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
Engrams are the engraved memories of the past.

ABOUT THE TOPIC:
Worries are nothing but familiar dwelling patterns for our mind. These familiar patterns are called engrams in the field of human psychology. Engrams are the engraved memories of the past, which serve as an undesirable resource inside us for all our present and future actions. Because of these stored engrams, we react illogically in the present. We are so tuned to worrying, that even if there is nothing to worry about, we worry about how long this state of no-worry is going to last! When we are enjoying ourselves, we worry about how much time is left to enjoy. How will we ever enjoy then? When you are continuously thinking this way, you are keeping yourself in the future all the time. When you do this, you have missed the pleasure of the moment!
Everyone feels important and productive when they harbor worries. Actually, the more a person worries, the more he feels good about himself because he feels he is managing so much worry! That is why most often you will see that when you talk about your worries to someone, they will say, Ah! This is nothing; listen to my problems; then you will know what worry is.' People feel superior in shouldering big worries! By' thinking of worries all the time', what is going to happen? Nothing. With your ten worries, an eleventh worry called depression will happen, that's all.
We worry while we work. When there is worry, you cannot work and when you are really working, you cannot worry. Where there is worry, there cannot be any creativity and where there is creativity there cannot be any worry. Creativity is god's job. When you create, you are closed to god. Creativity comes from the heart, worry comes from the mind.

OBJECTIVES
¤ What are worries?
¤ What are engrams?
¤ What do we do when we are
enjoying?
¤ When have you missed the
pleasure of the moment?
¤ When everyone feels important?
¤ Which is god's job?
¤ Where do worry some from?

CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
Spirituality is all about dropping the past and living in the present.

ABOUT THE TOPIC:
The past is an unwanted baggage. Drop it.
By going behind the past or thinking about the future, you miss the present. Spirituality is all about dropping the past and living in the present. Right now, you are accumulating the past. You feel bogged down because of this. You don't know how to unload your past. You feel that you have to carry it with you. Society has taught you that you have to carry it with you. You are taught to feel guilty if you try dropping it.
Society tells you that you are ungrateful if you drop the past. There is absolutely no need for you to carry your past with you. The people who tell you these don't know that gratitude is something that you have to feel continuously in you and in existence and everyone as a whole. It is not something you feel towards isolated incidents in life.



When you drop your past, the present will take you by surprise.
Society always teaches you to enjoy the present as past, never as present. It teaches you to make everything a past and then enjoy it.


OBJECTIVES
¤ Do we need to carry the past? ¤ Which is an unwanted baggage? ¤ What is Spirituality all about? ¤ What happens when you drop the past? ¤ Do you become guilty by forgetting the past?
