Hypnosis for Students

This is something that I personally have worked on. Been teenagers who are naturally willing to test new things and having great degrees of curiosity, school students respond very much positively towards hypnosis. 

After all, hypnosis is not that somebody having supernatural powers putting  you in a trance by force but it is your own creativity, concentration and imagination power that helps you to give up your burdens.

All what I did was to help them find their strength.

 

"Hypnosis for Students


Two of my four children are done with school, one is in high school now, and one will be starting high school in a couple of years. I've had a lot of first-hand experience with teens and the kinds of challenges they face in today's school environment.


Students who learn self-hypnosis gain self-confidence and the ability to focus more readily. This leads to better concentration in school, better retention, reduced test anxiety, and a host of other side benefits like higher self-esteem. So I make it a point to teach self hypnosis to as many students as I can, even if they don't seem to need help in school.


For students who do have performance problems in school, I have an array of things I can help them with. If test anxiety is a problem, I help the student learn to relax during the exam and focus his mind on the subject. For students who are bright but lack motivation, I help them to work smarter instead of harder by harnessing their subconscious minds' ability to absorb and retain vast amounts of information, which improves recall and can help make study time more effective.

For a student who knows the information but has a difficult time recalling it, I can help her to find alternate ways of unlocking the file cabinet in her mind when she needs to.





Reality of Meditation.

 If you stand before a mirror, you will see your entire reflection as one.  That is ‘oneness’. But if that mirror is shattered into two or three pieces, you may see two or three noses, six or seven eyes and a large number of hands.  That is the nature of a shattered mirror. There is no ‘oneness’ in it.  One piece of the mirror reflects one way, another one in another way.  Each piece reflects light in its own way, making images, a number of abnormal images.  Dear Friends, our scattered thoughts create an even greater abnormality.  Nothing that falls on it is true. Just as how false the reflections of that shattered mirror were, even more so false is what is told by these scattered thoughts.  The entire world, finally, is a reflection that falls on our mind.  So, that reflection is a great absurdity.  The external world that we see, not only others, but even one’s own self is a great absurdity.  Why? One’s self is in fact a collection of reflections that appears in a mirror that is shattered to a countless number of pieces.  Therefore, what meditation does is to make one’s inner self an un-shattered mirror.  If at any moment, un-shattered thoughts enter an un-shattered mind, then what we hear, see, think, at that moment we will perceive as they are.  That is why it is stated in the Dhamma that a concentrated mind perceives things as they are.

 




'' Learn to forgive yourself too for all the mistakes you have made in the past, not holding onto these wounds by having guilt and remorsein relation to them; and also letting go of the wounds that have been created by others. Learn to accept yourself as you are,and learn to accept others as they are, without an image of how you or they should be.''  - Godwin Samararathne

I am Not weak.


Well, we all face problems somewhere at some times...that how life is ! life is NOT about having no problems, life is about how we face these problems and then how we manage to move on.  (life jeena is not important, but life kaise jeena is very important- one of my Indian friends used to say) 

As a school student I have had many troubles in my life, mainly been unable to understand what my teachers used to teach me.Then it comes to EXAMS....Hahaha.. what are you gonna tell your mom when she sees your year end report? once that was really difficult for me to cope with some subjects and I never knew why. I thought that I must be a dumb student who never has enough brains like others...and gave up.!

Does this sound familiar to you? Yes, most probably..at times. But what if I say the answer to this is very simple? What if really the key to our success is just hidden in our own minds? Or what if truly we are NOT  weak and the true problem is located somewhere else that we could easily fix? Some of us are capable of learning some things very well but find some other things really difficult to understand. Surely there has to be a reason for that. If I am dumb, I have to be dumb in every subject. But how come I am good at one subject and very bad at some other?

Answer is very simple. If you are good at learning anything, then you are not weak anymore! Then why you get bad marks at some subjects, that must be due to some other external factors. If you could find the reason for you to succeed in one thing, well, congratulations ! you have solved your problem.

My point is that if we could figure out our strengths in learning one thing, then we can apply the same to everything we learn. 


The day you find out "what" makes you strong, you gonna put it into everything and then you are not gonna be weak in anything. Getting good results is not about becoming a nerd anymore!

I strongly believe that everybody has a key to their success and its only matter of finding it. 

I am very happy that I have found mine. And have helped many to find theirs. 

What about you? Wanna say out loud that "I am not a weak student anymore"?
