LESSON: 6

This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.

Introduction: Review yesterday topic and introduce them to the topic of positive and negative thoughts and emotions, and how they affect us.

Goals: To make them aware of how negative thoughts, negative words affect not only others but also us when we are using negative words about somebody.

Click: When we are closed we cannot observe the happiness around us. Negative thoughts will act as a barrier and keep us away from the good.

About the topic: thoughts and we will see Present a DVD of ice crystals formation and discuss about it. Negative words and thoughts make our world dark and uncertain; it makes things messy, closes us and makes us rocklike. When we are closed we won't observe and feel the fun and happiness around us. Positive words and thoughts are like a light being turned on. It opens us up to beauty and unity, makes us open to receive love and to learn, do so many things for the better. We are going to see how this manifests itself through water crystals. When the water was exposed to positive and loving words, the crystals were formed beautifully and had a nice hexagonal pattern. But when negative words were said in anger to the water, the crystals were formed cloudy and muddy looking. Just like our mind, we need to constantly say good things and think positive, uplifting the effects manifested in our lives. The personality of a person is shaped by his thoughts. The negative thoughts will act like a barrier and keep all the good things away.

Assessment: • Have you see ice crystals? • What happens when we expose negative thoughts on water?v How will positive thoughts enrich us? • What happens when we use negative thoughts and negative words on others?

Evaluation: Evaluate how well they understood the topic by asking multiple questions.

After seeing water react to different environmental conditions, pollution, and music, Mr. Emoto and colleagues decided to see how thoughts and words affected the formation of untreated, distilled, water crystals, using words typed onto paper by a word processor and taped on glass bottles overnight. The same procedure was performed using the names of deceased persons. The waters were then frozen and photographed.

WORRY

Activity: Shout it out

Materials: Containers (1 each)

Preparation: Have enough containers for everyone (one each). Presentation and Discussion: Talk about worry, ask each person: What are you most worried about? What is your biggest fear? Who knows what “courage” is? Courage - It's not being unafraid, but facing your fears. It's being brave and facing your fears. Take something that you are extremely afraid of and face it. You will feel better because you now know what it is. (One student explains how they are scared of shadows on the wall at night.) So next time you see a scary looking shadow like that, march over and see what is causing it! Shadows are caused by reflection of an image, go and see it and sleep in peace knowing that your fear never existed in the first place. Today we are going to do something special. We are going to turn off the lights and close our eyes thinking of all the things that worry us or makes us fearful, then with these containers we'll put them over our mouth and shout out our fears and worries, just scream them out of your system.

(After finishing the activity.) How do you feel? Better? Lighter aren't you? We have all these things stored up inside us, but better to think about them, rid ourselves of them and then move on!

Topic of discussion Give each child few situations and ask each child where the thoughts come from

Explanation: Give each child a situation; ask each one to analyze when the thoughts come, whether they belong to worry, fear, greed, happiness or anger.

For example: Give a child the situation, that he/she is the owner of a big company. Ask them what could be the thoughts that arise in them. Do they have thoughts of pride and so on? Give another situation which voices 'I own this whole place, I am very capable' Offer yet another situation like A beggar child is going to each shop and asking for money; nobody is even bothered to look at her. What will her thoughts be like? 'I am not worthy' or 'nobody is good', and so on.
