Stone that aids out of body experience.

Ancient Indians were highly knowledgeable about stones and metals that heal physical ailments and mental disorders like depression, worry and other evilish disorders.

They advised to wear certain metal bracelets, gem stone jewels to ward off negative vibrations of planets and stars.

Have you heard about the stone called "Howlite"?
It is said to bring calmness to those who wore that stone in some form on their body. If you are learning meditation for the first time, Howlite will assist you without your knowledge in meditating successfully.

I have heard of stages who used Howlite to have out of body experiences. Some say that Howlite cures insomnia too. Incidentally, Howlite is a rare mineral.

You can't be enlightened!

If you think you can get enlightenment by doing penance in the hills, thus emulating sages of yesteryear, then you are likely to be disappointed. Though doing penance was a way to attain enlightenment, it truly belongs to thee ancient times when worldly distractions were far less.

Enlightenment is interpreted in so many meanings but to me it means the realization of self. And what does it lead to do? Rather, what does it imply?

It implies that you are a piece of God (your source, your creator) and you should display Godly qualities in your daily life in this world.

During current times, you only have to allow enlightenment to get you and not the other way. This means, you should be mentally prepared to be enlightened and follow certain ways of living daily.

You see a lack of photo here depicting the enlightenment. I deliberately avoided it. Images of enlightenment will only condition your mind and make you set them as your goal.

Anger management for teenagers.

That was my topic for the last week parents' meeting. The topic was chosen by me because, of late, I noticed a growing trend among my students to be provoked to the chore at the slightest remark on their exam marks.

I am shocked to note that students these days can't tolerate their teachers and parents.

I think in the contemporary society, teenagers are often forced to be self-protective. The daily challenges in schools, on the street, inside the malls, the youth and children face myriad obstacles. Overcoming all of them makes their life stressed and they quickly lose their tolerance level.

If anger is not controlled, it can take over the life of the individual. We all witness scenes of yelling and screaming, jostle people around indecently when people are in anger.

I am an advocate of self-discipline. I firmly believe that anger can be controlled by constant reminders about how they look when in anger. Even a very beautiful face turns ugly when contorted in anger.

Still, parents have a role to play in shaping up their children. They cannot wash up their hands blaming the society, which is really made up of you and me.
