Preparation for Session#3

Preparation for Session#3 - Feelings.

Session #3 - Feelings (this friday) The preparation is also available on Jagriti blog at this link

Look at the comic strip below. What are your thoughts?

Think of any unacceptable behaviour of your child. If you do not have own child - this could be anybody else behaving with you in an unacceptable way - but preferably a child.

Now fill up this online form. Please use only 2-5 words in each line. You can fill the form multiple times for different unacceptable situations.

After submitting, what are your thoughts?

Watch this video (of a girl who does not want to go to school)- what specifically you learn from this video.

Watch this video (a clip from the movie I AM SAM) - think what would you say or do if you were the waitress.

5a.

Today, the whole day, carry with you a small card or a notepad (or use your smartphone) and keep making note of the different feelings you experience during your day. Keep writing against each of the feeling - what/who was responsible for the feeling.

5b.

In the same diary, against each of the feeling add - what was your need at that moment?

In the same way when others show what you may call an emotionalized response / behaviour - note down - what could be their need(s) at that moment. (This would obviously, in most cases, would be a guess - but that is fine).

5c. When you come to the session draw some of the emotions in 5a/5b either on your arms or on a paper and pin them on your dress.

Any doubts, pl clarify in the WhatsApp group

warmly

I Don't like TRUST

Dear Mummy and Papa Trust is such a big problem. I don't like it. Please do not trust me. When you say you trust me, this puts pressure on me. I don't like trust. You say you trust that I will keep my word. But many times I am not able to. Sometimes because I gave that promise because you wanted me to (and I didn't really want to) - like the promise of not eating that chocolate before dinner. Then you said that I had broken your trust. I don't like trust. You say you trust that I will not tell lies. But many times, when I'm simply scared to get a scolding, I tell lies. I was scared when I did not complete the project so I told that my teacher liked my work. Then you saw my diary and teacher's note and you said that I had broken your trust. I don't like trust. You say you trust that I will live up to your expectations. But the other day when i was teasing my friend badly, you said I had broken your trust because I did not behave properly while you expected me...

[Jagriti] Who is RESPONSIBLE ??

Excerpt from a book by OSHO - Rajneesh (Autobiography of a spiritually incorrect mystic ) The wise man wants you only to have insight into things so that you have your own light. But you don't want insight, you want clear-cut instructions. You don't want to see yourself, you want to be guided. You don't want to accept your responsibility towards yourself; you want to throw the whole responsibility on the shoulders of the master, on the shoulders of the wise man. Then you feel at ease. Now he is responsible; if something goes wrong, he is responsible. And everything is going to be wrong, because unless you take your responsibility nothing is ever going to be right. Nobody can put you right except you yourself. A real religious person is born the moment you accept your responsibility for yourself, the moment you say, "Whatsoever I am is my choice—not of the past but of the present. It is my choice of this moment, and if I want to change it I am absolutely free to change ...

Observing is Learning.

A man who wants to learn ZEN gets redirected to a small tea shop that an elderly lady runs. He goes and asks her, "Can you teach me Zen?" The elderly lady, in response, SLAPS him hard. Shocked, the man runs aways only to come back the next day, disguised, just to find out why she slapped him. He quietly sits in one corner of her shop, afraid that he may get slapped again. As he sits there, he observes . He observes how she makes the tea, how she serves her customers and how her whole shop is and he observes every little detail about this lady and her tea shop and thereby he learns ZEN. When somebody tells us that he or she wants to learn about children or how to facilitate them, we recommend three things you must do and those are: Observe Observe Observe Most of what we have learned about children has actually come about because we observed and are still observing and learning. Which is why when people want to learn from us, we gently, but firmly turn them to learn fr...
