☆ What is Positive Education? Why is it needed? ☆

 

Video Link : What is Positive Education? Why is it needed?

 

Positive Education is an approach to education that blends academic learning with character and well-being. It is based on the science of well-being and happiness. It prepares students with life skills such as: grit, optimism, resilience, growth mindset, engagement, and mindfulness amongst others.

Positive education views school as a place where students not only cultivate their intellectual minds, but also develop a broad set of character strengths, virtues, and competencies, which together support their well-being.

Positive education is a whole-school approach to student and staff well-being: it brings together the science of positive psychology with best-practice teaching, encouraging and supporting individuals and communities to flourish.

Positive Education focuses on specific skills that assist students to strengthen their relationships, build positive emotions, enhance personal resilience, promote mindfulness and encourage a healthy lifestyle.

Positive Education brings together the science of Positive Psychology with best practice teaching to encourage and support individuals, schools and communities to flourish. We refer to flourishing as a combination of ‘feeling good and doing good’. In consultation with world experts in positive psychology and based on Seligman’s PERMA approach, the Geelong Grammar School developed its ‘Model for Positive Education’ to complement traditional learning – an applied framework comprising six domains: Positive Relationships, Positive Emotions, Positive Health, Positive Engagement, Positive Accomplishment, and Positive Purpose. This model has been augmented with four fundamental active processes that underpin successful and sustained implementation of positive education: Learn It, Live It, Teach It, and Embed It.

Widespread support is necessary for the success of the positive education movement.

Gross National Happiness, or GNH, is a holistic and sustainable approach to development, which balances material and non-material values with the conviction that humans want to search for happiness.

The objective of GNH is to achieve a balanced development in all the facets of life that are essential; for our happiness.

GNH Centre, Bhutan

 

The 4 Pillars of GNH

  • Good Governance
  • Sustainable Socio-economic Development
  • Preservation and Promotion of Culture
  • Environmental Conservation

GNH Centre, Bhutan

 

The 9 Domains of GNH

  • Living standards
  • Education
  • Health
  • Environment
  • Community Vitality
  • Time-use
  • Psychological well-being
  • Good Governance
  • Cultural resilience and promotion

GNH Centre, Bhutan

 

History of GNH

The concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) was promulgated by the King of Bhutan in the early 1970s. When he spoke about GNH at the time, he questioned the prevailing measurement system that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) alone could deliver happiness and well-being to society. He firmly believed that happiness is an indicator, and a sign of progressive development for the Bhutanese people.

योग-साधना LifeSkills/जीवन कौशल ☆ Surya Namaskara: SALUTATIONS TO THE SUN ☆ Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

☆ Surya Namaskara: SALUTATIONS TO THE SUN☆

 

Video Link : Surya Namaskar: SALUTATION TO THE SUN

 

Surya namaskara is a well-known and vital technique within the yogic repertoire. It is a practice which has been handed down from the sages of vedic times. Surya means ‘sun’ and namaskara means ‘salutation’.

It is a technique of solar vitalization, a series of exercises which recharge us like a battery, enabling us to live more fully and joyfully with dynamism and skill in action.

Surya namaskara is a series of twelve physical postures. These alternate backward and forward bending asanas flex and stretch the spinal column and limbs through their maximum range. The series gives such a profound stretch to the whole body that few other forms of exercise can be compared with it. It is almost a complete sadhana in itself, containing asana, pranayama and meditational techniques within the main structure of the practice.

It also has the depth and completeness of a spiritual practice. Surya namaskara can be easily integrated into our daily lives as it requires only five to fifteen minutes’ practice daily to obtain beneficial results remarkably quickly.

(This is only a demonstration to facilitate practice of the asanas. It must be supplemented by a thorough study of each of the asanas. Careful attention must be paid to the contra indications in respect of each one of the asanas. It is advisable to practice under the guidance of a yoga teacher.)

योग-साधना LifeSkills/जीवन कौशल ☆ YOGA NIDRA by Swami Satyananda Saraswati ☆ Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

(Master Teacher: Happiness & Well-Being, Laughter Yoga Master Trainer,  Author, Blogger, Educator and Speaker.)

 

☆YOGA NIDRA by Swami Satyananda Saraswati ☆

Video Link : YOGA NIDRA by Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Yoga Nidra is a powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. It is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. During the practice of yoga nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. Here, the state of relaxation is reached by turning inwards, away from outer experiences.
Swami Satyananda Saraswati constructed this new system called Yoga Nidra incorporating the essence of tantric scriptures and practices without having complicated ritualistic drawbacks.
Yoga nidra is a simple practice. Choose a quiet room and lie down comfortably. Listen to the instructions and follow them mentally. The most important thing in yoga nidra is to refrain from sleep.
There are several versions of yoga nidra available but this one by Swami Satyananda Saraswati is perhaps the most powerful. It is very effective. I have benefited from it greatly and received a very positive feedback from all my friends to whom I passed it on. I feel it my humble duty to make it available to anyone who may need it.
For all practitioners of yoga nidra, Swami Satyananda Saraswati’s book ‘Yoga Nidra’ will be especially useful.

योग-साधना LifeSkills/जीवन कौशल ☆ Relaxation Asanas ☆ Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

(Master Teacher: Happiness & Well-Being, Laughter Yoga Master Trainer,  Author, Blogger, Educator and Speaker.)

☆ Relaxation Asanas  ☆

 

Video Link : Relaxation Asanas 

 

SHAVASANA, ADVASANA, JYESTIKASANA, MAKARASANA, MATSYA KRIDASANA, SUPTA BADDHAKONASANA, SHASHANKASANA, BALASANA

Relaxation asanas give the body the rest it so badly needs. Constant postural abnormalities put excess strain on muscles of the back and just lying down does not relieve it.

These relaxation practices are very relaxing to the spine and related structures. They are specially recommended for any back or spinal problem.

The asanas in this group appear very easy at first, yet to do them properly is quite difficult as the tension in all the muscles of the body must be consciously released.

These postures can be adopted during any time of the day for any comfortable duration. They can be combined with relaxing activities as well.

The poses demonstrated in the video include:

SHAVASANA (corpse pose)

ADVASANA (reversed corpse pose)

JYESTIKASANA (superior posture)

MAKARASANA (crocodile pose)

MATSYA KRIDASANA (flapping fish pose)

SUPTA BADDHAKONASANA (reclining fixed angle pose)

SHASHANKASANA (pose of the moon or hare pose)

BALASANA (child’s pose)

योग-साधना LifeSkills/जीवन कौशल ☆ Meditation Asanas ☆ Shri Jagat Singh Bisht

☆ Meditation Asanas  ☆

 

Video Link : Meditation Asanas 

SUKHASANA, ARDHA PADMASANA, PADMASANA, SIDDHASANA, SIDDHA YONI ASANA, SWASTIKASANA, DHYANA VEERASANA, SIMHASANA, VAJRASANA, ANANDA MADIRASANA, PADADHIRASANA, BHADRASANA
The main purpose of the meditation asanas is to allow the practitioner to sit for extended periods of time without moving and without discomfort. Only when the body has been steady and still for some time will meditation be experienced. Deep meditation requires the spinal column to be straight and very few asanas can satisfy this condition.
Furthermore, in high stages of meditation the practitioner loses control over the muscle of the body. The meditation asana, therefore, needs to hold the body in steady position without conscious effort.
In this video, we have demonstrated how to get into the following meditation asanas:
SUKHASANA (easy pose)
ARDHA PADMASANA (half lotus pose)
PADMASANA (lotus pose)
SIDDHASANA (accomplished pose for men)
SIDDHA YONI ASANA (accomplished pose for women)
SWASTIKASANA (auspicious pose)
DHYANA VEERASANA (hero’s meditation pose)
SIMHASANA (lion pose)
VAJRASANA (thunderbolt pose)
ANANDA MADIRASANA (intoxicating bliss pose)
PADADHIRASANA (breath balancing pose)
BHADRASANA (gracious pose)
Practice note: A useful suggestion to make the above poses comfortable is to be place a small cushion under the buttocks.

Video Link : Yoga Nidra in a Sitting Posture 

 

Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. Fifteen minutes of the practice gives you the same comfort as one of sleep.

Usually the practice is done while lying down. This short version is especially designed for those who want to relax and recharge in a sitting posture at their workplace, airport or park in the quickest possible time during the course of their busy day.

Yoga nidra, in it’s present form, is a beautiful gift to humanity by Swami Satyananda Saraswati who founded the Bihar School of Yoga.
