Stress, Anxiety and Depression

Nancy Naina — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 05:30:05 +0000

As we all know, the world is getting more complex as fast as it is growing. No one has the time enough to take care of themselves. In this tittle-tattle, we forget that every decision we take, every move we make, is operated by our own brain. Our brain is never off-duty, it keeps working incessantly even we are sleeping. It is common and pretty natural for it to have some disorders. These disorders are treatable but serious. We need to know and understand these disorders related to the brain to get rid of them and prevent ourselves from some serious consequences.

Stress, Anxiety and Depression. Just about everyone feels these emotions at some time. All are common reactions to life’s challenges, from losing a loved one to going through a divorce. On the surface, they can look a lot alike, but there are distinct differences.

Anxiety, Stress and Depression are different but all are interrelated.

Stress is usually characterized by a sense of feeling overwhelmed. This feeling may be due to your coping capacity being over-stretched or having been under pressure for too long. Some stress can help us to perform our day to day functions, too much stress leaves us “distressed” and often exhausted.

Stress and anxiety may seem similar on the ground, but they’re not the same. Stress is a response to daily pressures or a threatening situation, while anxiety is a reaction to the stress. Anxiety, which has no clear cause, tends to last longer and be more difficult to treat.

Anxiety is a sense of fear or dread that something terrible is going to happen. Anxiety can be general or specific to a place, social situation or thing (phobia). If you often feel anxious or depressed for no apparent reason, you may have an anxiety disorder, depression, or both. It’s not unusual for someone to suffer from both conditions at the same time. In fact, just about half of those diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.

Depression refers to an experience where you feel down most of the time which is called “low mood” and you have also lost interest in things you usually enjoy. You may also have changes in your sleep, appetite, feel guilty, de-motivated and generally withdraw from others.

To lead a healthy and successful life, we need to understand our brain. All the functionality of our body is nothing but a response to the electromagnetic impulse generated by our brain. When we understand our brain well then it becomes easy to cope with problems related to it.

What is OCCULT? – Learn With KFDN

Aakansha — Sat, 03 Mar 2018 05:30:30 +0000

What Is Magickal is Not Always Evil and Grim, But Usually Misconceived.

Occult is a mystical, supernatural, or magical powers, practices, or phenomena. It is termed as the knowledge that is hidden or meant for specific people, but for most specific occultists it is the study of a deeper spritual reality that extends beyind pure reason and physical science.

It is not an alien thing to anyone, but people don’t know that they practice a part or other of occult every single day. It plays a significant role in our day to day life, but once the word occult or magick (or there are many terms to mention) barges in, there is an awkward assumption that occult is either dark or non-existing.

Conspiracy theory, rumor, Bollywood, Hollywood, and the entertainment industry has carried a wrapped picture of occult studies. It is often used as the synonym of demon worship, black magick and it has a long list of the same. It is not evil but totally misunderstood due to lack of knowledge.

The truth is, the word occult means ‘hidden’, which is why people have very less knowledge about it.

The Study of Hidden Knowledge is known as occultism (or occult studies).

Why hidden?

A Few of the many reasons are stated below:

The initiates with proper preparation are offered the knowledge that is hidden from the sacred knowledge shouldn’t be revealed to common populace.

The recognition and acceptance of knowledge of energy, reals or abilities are very rare among the general populace. Magick is considered to be the only definition of the occult. In the wider aspect, anything paranormal or supernatural is also included.

Occultism has become roughly synonymous with mystical and esoteric. The two far less baleful expressions are often used in all the religions with the unknown practice of occult.

There are numerous practices around all over the world that might be identified as the occult. There are innumerable paths to the occult and many occultists follow multiple paths in their practices which makes it difficult to generalize occult.

Not moving further with a deep exposition, a brief is stated below as occult is a very wide subject to be explained. It is simply classified into two categories:

The occult science
The occult arts

These two categories have further branches. Occult is a world in itself that if known by everyone could bring the prominent change in the quality of living.

The Occult Sciences:

Hypnotism – Volitional Faculty – Adept ship – Talismans – Kabalism- The Calculatory Art – Numerology -palmistry – The Will and Imagination – Astrology, Etc

Astrology:

The study of the positions and movements of planets, sun, moon, and stars as a means of conjecturing information on terrestrial events and human affairs. The key to all occult sciences is considered to be the astrological art. Being the most ancient practice, it promptly bestows itself to scientific exposition.

This branch of the occult is further divided into sections:

Section I

The Aspects
The Alphabet
The Houses
The Signs

The Signs

Section II

Horoscope
Foreign Detailed Horoscopes

Section III

The Constitution
Character
The Position

Kinds of Deaths
Traveling
Progeny

Section- IV

Conclusion:

Though Occult is hidden, still, it is well practiced in our day to day life, unknowingly by the general populace. Understanding the true meaning of it can bring up an exceptional positive change in the society that can work wonders for the populace.

Learning more about Occult might clear the myths about occult that we have been carrying with us all this while.

Diminishing Play From Children’s Life – A Growing Concern

Shreya — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 05:30:43 +0000

खेलोगे कूदोगे बनोगे नवाब

It is sad to see how the small munchkins are busy playing on phones, laptops or just being busy in peer pressure of being modernized. A play is almost going off from their lives being digitally involved in electronics. But we need to understand why Play is important.

So, do you know what is play?

Play or say Playing is basically a physical or mental activity devoid of any specific purpose other than playing.

You can call it as the universal language that children love to communicate with each other and it enhances their imagination to design/think of games and play way methods to connect to their world.

3 reasons why the Play should be allowed

Play lays the ground for literacy –

Through play, children learn and practice new sounds. They try to invent new words in their own language. They also discover their imagination through play.

Play promotes all kind of development –

Through role plays and reading games, a child is able to develop their cognitive ability also known as intellectual and mental development.

For example, if they play doctor role set, they will learn about doctor, medicine and related things.

Socioemotional development –

Playing with friends or even parents a child is able to connect emotionally with their playmates which develops their social and emotional connection.

Physical development –

It includes both fine motor and gross motor development.

Fine motor includes fine finger movement, hand-eye coordination, hand – hand coordination etc., whereas gross motor means running, hopping, and moving in response to rhythm.

Play helps them to be expressive –

They grow to be expressive by their favorite game or toy or playmate. A playmate can be a kid of same age or a neighbor or even either of the parent.

They also learn to express their happiness during play. Anger or sadness due to acts which they don’t like.

Do you know what is Play way method of education ?

It is teaching a child through play. For example teaching them about animals through story role play, spelling games, flash card games to teach alphabet or numbers, dough rolling, personal hygiene through doll cleaning play etc.

So by now you must be aware why play is important. Be a little kid with the child as play is a necessity not an option.

Kailasha Foundation wishes to grow every tiny seed into a huge fruitful tree.

What is Motivation? What should be a teacher’s approach to it?

Shreya — Sun, 05 Nov 2017 05:30:52 +0000

Often heard about motivation, Isn’t it? But what actually is motivation and how it works?

We, at Kailasha foundation, care about the students’ mental state as well, boards are approaching and many of the students need motivation. For motivation, it is not necessary to give long lectures or stories. If we know what it is and how it work any of us can help students around.

What is Motivation?

Motivation refers to a state of a person that directs the behaviour of the individual towards certain goals.

Some students seem naturally enthusiastic about learning, but many need or expect their instructors to inspire, challenge and stimulate them.

According to Erickson, 1978:

“Effective learning in the classroom depends on the teacher’s ability to maintain the interest that brought the students to the course in the first place”. For example, A teacher using different methods of teaching a concept will make the student more curious and motivated towards it in comparison to a teacher who simply uses board and chalk method.

Whereas, Sass, 1989 said that “Not all the students are motivated by same values, needs, desires or wants. Some of your students will be motivated by approval of others, some by overcoming challenges”. Here I would like to like you about two of our students. We were teaching them about chemical bonds and they seemed less interested. Being one of their important subjects, we had to motivate them. The problem was Same but we couldn’t handle them with the same method. We gave them a quiz, one of them was excited and thus got motivated to study while the other one was still uninterested.

General strategies for Motivation:

1. Make students participate actively in learning –

The best way is to involve them in the process of learning. Students learn better by doing, making, writing, designing, creating and solving. Passivity surely dampens students motivation and curiosity.

Here are some points which the teacher should know –

Teacher’s enthusiasm
Relevance of the material
Organisation of the course
Appropriate difficulty level of the material
Active involvement of students
Variety
Rapport between students and teacher
Use of appropriate, concrete and understandable examples

2. Feedback –

This is really important as this helps the students to analyse their abilities. This should be done as soon as test/challenges are because it keeps the interest intact.

3. Reward Success –

Both negative and positive comments influence motivation, but research clearly says students are more affected by positive feedback and rewards.

The rewards don’t always need to be a medal or trophy. Appraising or small inexpensive gifts can also do it. For example, a nursery student feels happiest when the teacher rewards them with a star or smiley whereas a class 10 student will be happy when praised during the class or assembly time even by claps.

3. Negative/demeaning comments –

Frequently seen the teacher drains their frustration on students by giving negative feedbacks. In this case what we can do is avoiding too sensitive comments and instead encourage the students by giving them a new task and hence motivating them to do better.

One can also try daily motivation quotes, such as:

4. Providing the plate full –

Not all students are average, some are lazy to solve/find solutions or write/frame answers. We rob their chance to think about the question and its solution. We can ask the students what is their thought about the questions, what are facts they know about it and what facts are not cleared. Clear their doubts and then ask them to build the answer. This will surely enhance their thought and work process. Then praise them for their efforts to keep them motivated.

5. Pressure and Success stories –

Due to the highly competitive world, almost 99% of the students face peer pressure to do excellent. Here we should explain to them why are the parents concerned? What are their pressuring methods and correct the parents as well if needed?

We should also share the success stories because that definitely increases their inner efforts to reach their goals. Success is not easy, by sharing such stories we may make them feel you are not only the one on the path of hard work and your hard work will surely pay off.

All we need is to help them to experience the sense of achievement and increase their confidence so as to keep them motivated.

Learning with fun is the concept and Kailasha Foundation – Fun & Learn Portal is doing endeavours in that directions on daily basis.
