Renewal & Celebration - March 30, 2014, at Young Horizons

Fourteen of us - Shourabh, Brishti, Chandrima, Vijay, Shyamal, Indrani, Ila, Saurabh, Subhashree, Sharbari, Aasish, Gouranga, Sanjib and Anjan - met on Sunday evening at 'Young Horizons' and renewed ourselves in the spirit of ISABS! It was a time of celebration, in which everyone pitched in. We had Holi colours, music, exercises, brainstorming, mocktails, food, and very good tea!

We are reviving monthly meetings immediately with interesting speakers. Prof. Gouranga Chattopadhyay has kindly agreed to speak to us on 'Personal Authority' at our next meeting. It is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, April 29. We would let you know the venue as soon as it's fixed. Please book the date in your calendar and be sure to attend.

We already have Vijay as Hony. Treasurer and Saurabh as Hony. Secretary of our group. To explore and design new activities and programmes, besides our Labs, we formed a small committee. It consists of Aasish, Chandrima, Brishti and Indrani. They would discuss among themselves soon.

We have to thank Shourabh Mukherji for the lovely, air-conditioned hall of Young Horizons that he generously placed at our disposal. Since we would like to move our monthly meeting venue from place to place, please let us know if you can offer a venue for our meeting - at least once in 2014.

The Genius in the Garden !

At the monthly meeting on Wednesday, September 12, at Apeejay Surrendra office, Paul Siromoni conducted a Win Wenger exercise on 'Borrowed Genius'. Subhashree Chander reports:

The a-HA! experience - notice, when you say "a-HA", your eyes light up and the lips break into smile and it has musical note to it ! And that’s what happened to us = Paul, Tantrima, Jhimli, Sanjib, Arpita, Indrani, Sukhvinder, Aniruddha, Manish, Seema, Ila and Subhashree, at yesterday’s meeting at Apeejay. It was a delightful experience : ‘Borrowed Genius’ based on ‘Periscopic Learning' (projecting a peripheral view). We missed all those who could not make it for the meeting.

After a short introduction by Paul through a series of charts prepared by him based on Beyond Teaching and Learning : How to borrow some genius for direct use, the purpose was to tap the genius within each of us to bring in effectiveness and joy in all that we do. The methodology - experiential sharing through imagery in order to deep learn to arrive at amazingly unexpected payoffs !

Paul talked about the right brain, use of which can bring in invaluable beauty and discovery, which each of us discovered by the end of the programme. We were asked to move into pairs and with eyes closed (for full 30 minutes), Paul gave short instructions at intervals of 2 –4 minutes and took us into the journey of a beautiful Garden created by each of us with richest of details -colour, shape, sound, space, sounds, feel and smell.... stirring up sensations while describing them so much that it became real to the partner.

The bing on the water glass by Paul was the timer for the experience to stop and start off another more exquisite description.

Gradually we had the Genius join us in the garden and went into details of describing the Genius in detail to make it real for the partner, In the grand finale, we met the Genius eye to eye, ear to ear… to become the genius almost to sensory details.

Next was reliving the greatest understanding or illuminating in the lifetime memory of the Genius – the point of the greatest a-HA! Culmination with seeing the Genius in front of a full length mirror, moving back and shaking hands with the Genius for the thanksgiving. We then put back the little cellular phone to keep in contact with the Genius and he also did the same to connect with us at any time!

We then shared our experiences… here are some of them…..

" My genius said to me – why are you so much in awe of me…."
"My genius was Swami Vivekananda and I became Vivekananda"
"My genius is a little imp …..prancing and waiting for me to tap him more often"
"I know I have so much more potential in me.,,..I need to discover that"

For the benefit of all those who missed yesterday’s meeting here is the URL:

Take care of yourself and the genius within you!

Debaprasad Chattopadhyay on his BLHP experience

One of the participants at the Baishakhi Event, Debaprasad Chattopadhyay, writes as follows after his participation in the April 25-29 Basic Laboratory at Future Business School :

"After attending 5 days BLHP, I realize I am now able to better understand myself as a person with particular reference to my emotions, feelings. I can relate to others more effectively and be sensitive to a group/individual. The net takeway from the learning sessions have been manifold and enriching and the aspect of "co-dependence" was something which was immensely meaningful. BLHP helps to comprehend the human processes and thereby brings in bliss and happiness to a person which is so vital in all spheres of life, be it personal, social or professional."

The smiles say it all !

Well, perhaps not all all ! But reviews have been very positive for the Baishakhi Event 2007 at Future Business School, Kolkata, that concluded on April 29. The new location, at 2, Ripon Street, proved to be an excellent discovery, with the right infrastructure for sustained Laboratory work. Here's the BLHP group photograph of the participants with facilitator Paul Siromoni and co-facilitator Arpita Mukherjee. Click on the photograph to see the full size on your screen !

"Our Biography becomes our Biology !"

Sukhvinder Sircar kept the ISABS Kolkata Region monthly meeting enthralled on March 22 evening with her exposition on the concept of 'Chakras' of the human body, that ascend from the base of the spine to the apex of the skull.

Her full powerpoint presentation is available for view on : http://www.esnips.com/doc/e041fb22-2441-4009-acea-a658c1aa480c/Anatomy-of-the-Spirit

The concept of Chakras is rooted in Indian metabiology and spirituality, but has been enthusiastically taken up for research and systematisation by Western and specifically American scholars, Sukhvinder suggested. We understood from Sukhvinder that the idea of 'Auras' that surround the body as parallel fields has received a boost from Kirlian photography, through which such fields have been clicked by cameras.
