VIPASSANA – A PATH LEADING TO FREEDOM FROM ALL SUFFERINGS.

जरूरी है प्राणायाम…
जीवन में प्राणायाम का बहुत अधिक महत्त्व है. इससे मन में सकारात्मक विचार आते हैं और शरीर उर्जावान बना रहता है. आज की भाग दौड़ भरी जिन्दगी में तो इसका महत्त्व और भी ज्यादा है. हकलाहट को नियत्रित करने और बेहतर संवाद कौशल को विकसित करने में प्राणायाम बहुत ही सहयोगी हो. अक्सर हम समय […]

पहले सुने फिर बोलें…!
कहा जाता है कि हर किसी को अच्छा श्रोता यानी दूसरों कि बात को ध्यान से सुनाने वाला होना चाहिए. इंसानी फितरत हमेशा यह रहती है कि वह दूसरों को कम बोलने का मौका देना चाहता है और हर समय यही चाहता है कि दूसरे उसकी बात को ध्यान से सुने. हकलाने वाले साथी भी […]
THE NEW EARTH
I just finished reading “The New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle. I think, second time. Felt deeply touched. He drops all the pedantic and superfluous details and shares the very essence of Budhist and Christian truths, while putting forth his own philosophy and REALIZATION. Yes, he is writing only about those things which he has realized […]
Keith Calling..
p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; } My very dear TISA friends, Many journeys are planned in advance. Some journeys do not start, because there are no people willing or able to take that very necessary first step. Until 2006 there was no effective central place in India for people who stammer to get together to talk […]
Great Tips for parents
Last Saturday, I was talking to a parent.One of the sentences he used, got stuck in my head: “He (=son) is at a stage where he thinks, ‘I know better than my father’..” May be son is wrong to think that. May be father too is wrong to think that! Stammering IS such a problem. […]
Stammering- a blessing?
“As a result of the stammer, I have never been able to speak fast but my theory is that having the stammer made me appreciate words more than I otherwise would have. I latched on to Cary Grant films, film noir with Bogart and Bacall and all that really rapid-fire patter.”.. Read more about this […]
Meeting a local PWS….a potential peer…
It was about 12 pm in the afternoon.I needed to take 1 hour break from the office to visit the local bank. I, finally called my boss, being involved in a dilemma for a long time whether to seek his permission or just go out directly, who was busy attending some cultural event in our […]
Lessons from NSA..
I was advised by a friend to check out old NC of NSA, for more ideas. Granted that there are many differences between TISA and NSA, here is what I discovered and was positively impressed by. The sessions they plan are many, diverse, cater to different age groups and often run parallel. This offers choices […]
Approach Avoidance conflict
In last 8-9 years, I have browsed and read all kind of writings on stammering- yes, even articles titled “Cure your stammering under 7 minutes”, even Nathaniel Bogue- but two writers have fascinated me no end. It is not what they said or wrote- but the kind of life they had lived- which continues to […]
