Sale priceRM62.00 MYR

Parents and teachers often act as though offering a “reasonable explanation” to a child about staying calm and focused will resolve a problem or situation. However, reason or logic is not usually helpful for a child’s learning or ability to achieve a calm state, as you will see in this book. What does work is techniques to change the flow of energy. The first step is to recognize the flow of energy that makes us happy, and that is engagement in something meaningful, not, as often thought, excitement.

Awake and Ready is based on yogic principles, taught by Paramhansa Yogananda, on energy and form, but most importantly, how to apply those principles practically. This is a book with real-life experiences that illustrate different keys to working with energy. You will find suggestions that ease tensions, improve your relationships, and create a happier environment whether in your home, workplace, and/or classroom.

Good for all relationships

This book has a way of raising your energy and happiness in general, just by reading it! Many people raise their kids by talking about God and religion too much (God is watching, you must behave!). This book shows how to raise kids without ever saying anything about that, but simply being a living example of one who has wisely meditated and walked the spiritual path. Exactly what I myself was searching for as a child.
Since I am not a teacher, and all my kids are now grown, I can still apply these principles not only to myself, but to all my other relationships. It teaches ways to change, uplift, or redirect the energy in a person or group. I do recommend it highly to anyone who is around children, especially parents and teachers.

Highlighting these principles, or keys, of energy-awareness and how to change the flow of energy makes 'Awake and Ready' a practical tool, not just for educating kids, but a true Self-Help guide for anyone.
