Introduction
•
Evidence...
Raising intolerance, teen
suicides, road rage, increasing divorce rates, depression, failed
relationships, high levels of unhappiness, drug abuse, increase in crimes like
murder, rape, corruption, loss of moral values: are all manifestations of
Excessive Burdens carried by human beings within their souls. At the moment,
the only way of shedding this Burden seems to be by resorting to Harming Ones
Own Self and Harming anyone and everyone around us.
•
All this destructive behavior arises because we are unhappy with
ourselves and the world around us. We do not understand the dynamics of the
relationships between ourselves with our “Selves”, Ourselves with our Environment
and Ourselves with the God we believe in. We are more prone to Negative Thought
processes than Positive. We tend to give in more towards emotions of hatred,
jealousy, deceit, depressions.
‘Catharsis of the
Soul’© assists people in
shedding “unwanted excess baggage” within their souls, giving them
an opportunity to make room for positive and life enriching experiences to
fill their being.
A
culmination of various techniques is consolidated in ‘Catharsis of the Soul’© spanning over a period of about 17
hours.
Vision
and long term direction:
nTo Enhance the Emotional Quotient.
nTo Enhance Productivity in our Personal and Professional Lives.
nTo understand your Strengths and Weaknesses.
nTo Clear Out Unwanted, Negative and Harmful Emotions from our Minds.
nTo Implement Strategies and mechanisms within the mind to clear out Negativism
at source.
nAvoid piling up of future Harmful Emotions.
nTo Enhance Relationships with our Loved Ones and Colleagues.
nTo live a stress free life.
nOptimize the potential of your strengths
nConvert your weaknesses into strengths.
nThe desired Objective is to :
nUnderstand your own
“Self”: Why do we “Feel” the things we “Feel”. Why do we “behave” the way we
“behave”. Why do we “Think” the way we Think.
nUnderstand our
Relationship with our Environment: Our Family, Our Society, Our Universe, Our
Destiny.
nUnderstand our
Relationship with the “God” whom we believe in.
nChange Attitude at
Source.

to attain desired response from Ourselves and “OTHERS”

about this workshop is the way the entire process is drafted in such a
beautiful way that you don’t experience that you are undergoing an experience
that changes your life. This workshop can be done for ages
18 – 81. I am so touched
with the end outcome of this 2 days session. With a different perception about
catharsis was how I entered the class, but experienced the catharsis by just
working on the simple techniques offered/guided by Leena. I really felt
Cathartic. Thanks Leena and wish you the best in Life.
Mrs. Prabha
Padmanabha, Professor, KC College ,Mumbai, India : I was trying to evaluate the difference between the
discourses I have been to of various “Gurus” and religious Preachers and what
Leena is trying to bring out through Catharsis of the Soul©. The main difference I found was that other Gurus give
solutions to problems as conveyed in the religious scriptures while as Leena
makes you find the answers to your own problems.
Dr.Vijay Dabholkar,
Vice Principal, KC College, Mumbai, India . The workshop was Excellent. When I first saw Leena,
I thought, what is She going to teach me differently, but after undergoing Catharsis
of the Soul © , I am truly indebted to our Principal, Ms. Manju Nichani,
for introducing Leena to us and making us undergo Catharsis of the Soul © Everyone needs to do Catharsis of the Soul ©

for me. I did find myself to a certain extent and was left with a “Feel Good”
State of mind. Leena is a very laidback anchor, sets a pace comfortable for all
the participants and initiates a dialogue effortlessly. I think Catharsis of the Soul© is a Must for Every
Individual who needs De stressing.
Dr. Anupama Harshal,
Professor, KC College ,Mumbai, India: I thought Psychology was about Philosophy but I
think after Catharsis of the Soul©, Leena made me realize it is about
