“How a tap a day keeps your problems at bay!”: Elementary EFTT With Mr. Sree

On Thursday 7^th August 2014 and Thursday 14^th August 2014, Mr. Sreekumar; noted life coach and EFT (Emotion Freeing Tapping Technique) practitioner presented his eighth and ninth sessions at SHAFA HOME, Delhi. Due to the continuous shifting of residents from Delhi to Kotdwar, our previous batch of participants had left to embark upon their treatment at our senior house. Consequently, Mr. Sree felt it was necessary to host an introductory session allowing our newer members to learn more about this profoundly interesting energy-healing technique.  

These two sessions allowed Mr. Sree to establish rapport with our new arrivals to the centre and members who had arrived from Kotdwar. On Thursday 7^th August 2014, Sree gave a short but poignant overview of what EFT entailed and its benefits. Our new participants were intrigued and engaged by his discourse into the mesmerising world of self healing through energy and thought-channelling. By harnessing our often intense and self-destructive energy, we direct it into the creation of a remedial process that keeps us guarded from physical and mental ailments.

Sree interlaced his explanatory discourse with his own personal experiences. Members were moved and amazed to hear that EFT had successfully allowed him to fully recover from severe lethargy and even despondency, mood swings, hurt and painful memories. The process has worked wonders for him in his active daily practice to along with his morning walks to mould him into the grounded and charismatic individual he is today. Now he travels across the nation to help people seeking much needed liberation from their physical and psychological problems. Three months on, his magnetic spark and genuine enthusiasm still dazzles our avid-to-learn residents.

On the 14^th August, Mr. Sree took feedback from the residents. The general consensus from residents suffering from bodily ailments was that that their pain had reduced from a scaled 7 out of 10 to 4 or 5. One member noted to have felt an astonishingly strong reduction in their pain, to 3! Sree commented how fantastic it was to hear of our residents’ continuous dedication to the practise. Towards the end of the session, Mr. Sree embarked on a one-on-one work with a resident suffering from bouts of rage and explosive anger. Sreekumar guided him through a relevant set-up statement that would allow him to forgive himself for his destructive temperament and his chaos-laden past and remind him of his winning qualities.

With time, with dedication to the practise and faith in his personal abilities, he will be able to transform himself into a strong individual able to keep his cool despite life’s turbulent moments.

All in all, this was another fabulous investment of time and our continuous thanks goes to Mr. Sreekumar for conducting another hope-inspiring session for our residents as they progress through their recovery journey.

Janmashtami 2014: Festivity, fun and frolics on Lord Krishna’s glorious birthday!

On Sunday 17th August 2014, our residents celebrated the birth of Lord Krishna at both Kotdwar and Delhi facility center. Janmashtami is the festival that marks Lord Krishna’s birth and is a highly revered and auspicious day throughout the nation, promoting a message of courage, focus on positive goals and remaining pure and virtuous while overcoming life’s oppressors to gracefully stride through turbulence into serenity. Our staff on duty, Pradeep Ji even went as far to oversee jewellery and make-up! Who ever knew he would be such a dab hand at transforming mere mortals into mythological heroes and villains. Everybody looked a gem as they sparkled from head to toe.  Our scenery and props team demonstrated their inventiveness and resourcefulness as they recycled old sheets to create a dynamically flowing river, created a huge cobra from basic scrap materials and climbed into trees to affixed pots and swings. Only through complete trust and teamwork, were they able to achieve all this…and more was on the way!!          

At the stroke of five thirty sharp we were transported back in time as the evening’s programme kicked off with a selection of still scenes. A group of our residents performed a sequence of ‘Jhankis’, staging memorable moments from Lord Krishna’s life story. Our boys dazzled us with superb renditions of His fight with Kans, Krishna’s familial separation, the Great One defying an invitation into the fatal jaws of Seshnag (the cobra). The last stop was the iconic scene of the timeless union of mischievous Krishna with his beautiful and devoted consort, Radha. Our colourfully exuberant production even attracted the attention of our neighbours from Mawakot village!  

As residents meandered their way back into the facility, our host for the night introduced our musical pieces and two theatrical productions; a play about Sudhama’s unfair dismissal from Lord Krishna’s domain and Lord Krishna’s battle against Pootna and Seshnag. First was Subin and Vikrant’s acoustic guitar jam, which was then followed with our sweet-voiced and melodious Vipin serenading us with his version of ‘Om Jai Jagdish’ spreading the spiritual current of joy and peace high into in the air.

Our event drew to a close with our guest, director Mr. Ranjan Dhar congratulating all participants for their outstanding time, effort and dedication to make the day a seamless success. Last but not least, he also praised the kitchen team, who had cooked scrumptious halwa, puris and kheer as part of the mouthwatering alternative menu for the 120 residents. The empty plates and countless satiated smiles said it all!  

Janmashtami 2014 was a sparkling accomplishment of creativity, innovation and teamwork. It was clear to see that our boys were fantastically capable of producing and directing a smashing show. We hope that this special day may be the gatekeeper allowing continuous strength, bliss and success to pour into the hearts and minds of all residents.
