‘Catharsis of the Soul’©

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.

nConvert your weaknesses into strengths.

 

nThe desired Objective is to :

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.

nTo modify Our Behavior to attain desired response from  Ourselves and  “OTHERS”
