Guided visualisation with five elements of Nature:
The five basic elements – Space, Water, Air, Fire & Earth from which life has emerged – have all been objects of worship forming an integral part of Indian tradition. The elements are believed to be protectors of Life. So it is very important for us to give them due respect. Baba says that balance in life and balance in nature, both are important and inter related. When this balance is established, there will be peace in the world.
Guided visualization is one form of meditation, which is used for children of pre-primary and primary classes. The guru may show an object or the picture and guide the children to imagine by focusing inward. This is also known as “conducted tour” or “silent sitting” of the thoughts of children by making them think, showing a picture or imagination. This spectrum of imagination could include all such things but children love and admire. For example, space, clouds, beautiful flower, green mountain, calm ocean, sunrise, moonrise, dusk, garden, forest, park, river etc., However the mechanics of silent sitting largely depends upon the age groups of the students. This kind of stimulation helps the children between 4 years and 9 years.
The greatest advantage of silent sitting is an immediate increase in individual productivity, in mental capacity to accomplish things and a sure passport to success, joy, self-confidence and fame.
