SMARTER STUDIES FOR SMARTER KIDS

Does your child have any problem in concentrating and doing his home work? Do you find your child with a dreamy expression on his face when he is supposed to be studying? Children are beginning to explore the world around them. They are learning to think and analyze the cause and effect. Things that may seem mundane to the adult eye are new and wonderful for children. Therefore, they tend to be distracted by the things and happenings around them. However, there are many things you can do to help your child to attain a better concentration levels. There are few set of guidelines to be adopted to achieve out best results i.e :

Set a routine. Set aside a specific time for waking up, having breakfast, and going to school, playtime, study time and dinner. Once your child establishes a routine, he will find it easier to concentrate on his work because he knows that this is the time you have allotted for work and nothing else.

Make sure that the room in which your child sits down to study and do his homework, is one where there is no distraction. Let him read aloud if he feels it will help him from becoming distracted.

Don’t let younger siblings, especially infants play near the room where your school going child studies. Their cries and infant babble may be a big distraction for your child.

Look up the topic which your child is working on and capture his interest by sharing interesting and informative facts with him. Provide kids with small notepads or writing pads which should be attractive with colors and fun related pages.

Make dull topics interesting by playing quizzes and memory games.If your child feels sleepy or hungry, he may not be able to concentrate well so make sure he is not hungry or tired.

Sometimes children tend to lose interest in a particular subject when they fail at it. Encourage your child to persevere. For this, you must show him that you have full confidence in his abilities and that you will help him in any way you can.

If your child needs extra help, offer to help him out or arrange for tuition. Once he begins to understand and master the subject, he will begin to concentrate on his work.

It is a good idea to let your child study along with his peers who are good academic performers. By doing this, your child can pick up tips and ideas from his friends.

Be patient when you deal with your child. Yelling at him or scolding him when your find him distracted will only serve to make him frustrated.

Let your child take short breaks while studying. This will help your child to refresh his mind and memory. Let him take a 10 minute break after 1 or 2 hours of studying.

There are several activities which can help to improve your child’s concentration. Here are a few:

• Read a story to your child and ask him questions related to it. This will help sharpen his memory too.
• When you study anything, we can see through various dimensions i.e Brains, Eyes, Ears, etc… Close your eyes and read or write in your mind by concentrating 100% , he/she never forgets.
• Ask your child about his day. This way, he will make an attempt to recall the events and actions of his day and this in turn will help improve his memory and concentration.
• Count numbers or their multiples and skip one or two in between. Ask your child to find the missing number.
• Strange as it sounds, tongue twisters also help improve concentration. Your child has to listen with great attention to decipher the tongue twister you say. This will teach him to concentrate.
• Lack of concentration is not a problem that is impossible to solve. These few tips should help you assist your child to overcome the problem of low concentration levels and sharpen his memory and learning skills.
• Nowadays mobile phones are getting misused instead of that when they study let them record it and keep handy when they want, they can easily take and use it I.e Playback the audio clip etc….

MORE TREES, MORE OXYGEN, LONG - LASTING LIFE

Plant Trees, Planned Life

Dear Readers,

Does anyone of you thought about saving trees, how does in turn contribute to human life and existence in this world ? Do you know how much green surface area is required to provide for your daily oxygen intake that you breathe from air? Check it out with the help of this article ? Can`t we just plant enough of trees indoor and outdoor? Don’t it save ourselves from the danger of pollution and global warming? 

 Here I would like to ponder some few facts about trees, and various inititatives to be taken to protect our global environment.

There's are enormous ways to save trees. Trees are crucial to our environmental system and need to be taken care of as much as possible. They come with an unlimited number of benefits to our world. If we try to save trees, our air will remain clean of impurities. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, pollutants, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, allowing us to breathe clean oxygen.

A mature tree will produce as much oxygen for 10 people in one year. There are many benefits we can gain if we try to save trees. They provide us with noise barriers and create shade to cool the hot weather. Places can get up to 6 degrees hotter when there are no trees to block the sun. In the winter, they block the cold force of wind.

Trees help cleanse the air by intercepting airborne particles, reducing heat, and absorbing pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. They also become very effective as stone walls in stopping sound. They muffle urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls. Trees, planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house, can mitigate major noises from crowded roads, railway stations and airports. A mature leafy tree, in a few months, produces as much oxygen as that required by 10 people for one year.

A tree can absorb and stop CO2 Emissions, and other harmful gases which warm the environment. An urban forest is a carbon storage area that can lock up as much carbon.Therefore it becomes a dustbin for harmful gases.

Hey what about cooling environment and a shade for you. You will be just wondering when you walk in very hot climate, we will think if some trees are being planted I can protect me from Suntan or Hot. If we take up initiatives to plant more and more trees around our house, we can reduces the necessity for fan, coolers and air conditioning in summer. This can also save energy consumption as day by day the EB Bills are also burdening the common man. In winter, trees break the force of winter winds. This protects houses, farmland and vegetation.

It also prevent soil erosion, conserve rainwater, and reduce water runoff and sediment deposit after storms. Trees help in lowering the dust levels and pollution levels in the cities. In Coimbatore, specially the areas near to RS Puram, Race Course etc…. are well planted with bunch of trees and it provides such a good atmosphere to have a walk with family or for getting best quality of oxygen with pollution free environment.

Trees can`t communicate like we human being do. Can I ask you something what if somebody cuts your hand? What will be your reaction on that ! Just think on it for a minute.

You cry out of pain, the same way it happens for trees they don’t communicate orally likewise we do. They are also like us they work non-stop 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without a single second's break more than what human does. There is a very common process evolved with trees called Photosynthesis whereby it absorbs harmful carbon dioxide and releases several thousands of rupees worth of life- giving oxygen free of cost.

The absorption of carbon dioxide that is a 'Green House' gas helps slow down Global Warming. If there is a steep depletion of forest cover, then the quantity of oxygen in the air is sure to go down. Eg : if a person is being admitted at hospital related to breathing problems like asthma, allergic etc.. the amount which he spends for hospital rent, oxygen cylinders and the oxygen cylinder would cost Rs 700/- and a person requires atleast a minimum of Rs 2000/- worth oxygen but think if a person can buy plants and keep them growing at their residence, that would be cost cutting measures and you can save yourselves from paying out huge bills at hospitals.

“ SAVE TREES , LIVE LONGER ”

If you think afforestation would be better, please I request you to atleast start plant saplings at your residence. Also ensure no trees are uprooted or cut in and around your place. Often we watch trees being cut down for various absurd reasons. If you are at Coimbatore, please take some time to visit Tamil Nadu Agricultural University – Botanical Garden , Marudhamalai Road, Coimbatore. Avail trees at very low cost and also pure agriculture based products are also made available.

 Did you forget the question I asked in the beginning of article ? About the space ………… !

Here it is, Every human being in this world should at least have 625 square feet surface area of greenery to produce oxygen in order to save this mother earth from getting exhausted.

Thank you to all my readers,

Please share your views and suggestions!

BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF VEGETARIAN DISHES

Every Plant and its subsystem has one sense that it provides food, cloth and shelter to all the higher sense beings. Plants are the only living being having a connection with space and earth. It consumes its own food energy from space as well from the mother earth. From space it take photons in the form of light as well magnetic forces. Whereas from earth it takes lot of valuable minerals such as Nobel liquids, Metals, Mercury etc. 

Earth is a composition of several entities. From the layer of Mental core, earth emits lot of precious gases and various metals. These metals can not even taken out by our modern scientific methods. But it is surprised and miraculous, plants sucks these all and convert it into various form of flowers, nuts, vegetable, roots, stems and leaves.

Now the question starts...

Why should we consume non vegetarian food? Is it required for us ?

First of all human digestion system is not meant to digest and absorb non vegetarian food particles.

Second thing, When an animal is cut into pieces it emits lot of hormones connected with fear, anger and pain. These particles will be deposited into the flesh. It has to chew and consume these toxins. When we are hurted by any one how do we react? What if we extend the same empathy and sympathy towards animals.

In general, regularly adopted vegetarian diet has certain beneficial effects on the body:

 
It submits a further lower effort to body during digestion , Detoxifies the whole body; Decreae in the content of fiber as well as the risk of diseases such as colon cancer, high cholesterol, hypertension and stroke, diabetes etc… Fruits and vegetables contain large amounts of antioxidants to detoxify the body so as well in the fight against cancer, early ageing and cardiovascular diseases, It also brings a lower intake of toxins in the body.

If we keep hunting animal beings in the same way surely human kind will be punished by the nature one way or other. To understand this let me narrate a story about dinosaur. As we all know this was the biggest and cruel animal lived long back on the earth. But now a days dinosaur had become extinct. The reason is that nature have decided to stop these spices on to the earth, because of its cruel nature. The same may happen to human kind also. Lets safeguard the living cycle and planet earth.

SITTING IS KILLING YOU !!!!

Sitting increases risk of death and diseases

The truth about sitting down

Whether tending our crops or hunting wild boar most of our lives as humans were lived on our feet. But with the advent of TV, Computers and desk job we're sitting down more than ever before in history.(9.3 hours a day, )
Even more time than we spend sleeping (7.7 hours). Our bodies weren't built for that and it's starting to take its toll. You might want to stand up for this.

Sitting increases risk of death up to 40%

Sitting 6+ hours per day makes you up to 40% likelier to die within 15 years than someone who sits less than 3. Even if you exercise.

Sitting makes us Fat

Obese people sit for 2.5 more hours per day than thin people.

Between 1980 and 2000:

• Execise rates stayed the same
• Sitting increase 8%
• Obesity doubled

Sitting expends almost no energy



 How sitting wrecks your body????

As soon as you sit:

• Electrical activity in the leg muscles shuts off.
• People with sitting jobs have twice the rate of Cardiovascular disease as people with standing jobs.
• Calorie burning drops to 1 per minute.
• Enzymes that help break fat drop 90%.
• After 2 hours Good Cholesterol drops 20%
• After 24 hours effectiveness drops 24% and risk of diabetes rises.

 How to get out of your chair alive.

For many of us, sitting for 8 hours a day at our job is inevitable. But it's the extra sitting outside of work that turns a serious problem deadly.

The recommended 30 minutes of activity per day is not enough. Interrupt sitting whenever you can by,
doing stretching
walking / marching in place 
jumping jacks
walking burns 3-5 times the calorie that sitting does.
Take every opportunity to walk around the office.

The human body simply isn't built to sit for long periods of time. A hundred years age, when we were all out toiling in the fields and factories, obesity was basically non existent. But since we can't exactly run free in the fields till the end of our days, we have to help our bodies in other ways. We have to stand up for our right to stand up.

Hindu Dharma - Mantra Chanting - Matra Theraphy

Hindu Dharma spread throughout the world, dating back to the unwritten history. Before twenty million years of the human race civilization, the world has been spread only with the worship of lord shiva. Despite the worship of the gods like Ganesh,Muruga in the later years, only the worship of lord shiva will wipe away the sins of the previous births. Modern indologists found that Ramayana has occurred since 17,50,000 years. During the period of Ramayana, even lord sriram worshipped lord shiva idol in rameswaram.
At present, the worship of lord shiva is held best in India. But, all the secrets of lord shiva worshipping are available only in the state of Tamil Nadu. So only the experienced quote, ”Thennathudaya sivane potri,ennatavarkum eraiva potri” is still in circulation. For nearly 10 years,at a rate of about one hour per day, the shiva mantra should be chanted in the lord shiva temple. If we do so, the sins that ones committed in the previous birth will be wiped away. But How the people living in the furthest country can come to tamilnadu?.
Here is the solution.....
In 1980,A simple but a powerful mantra has been initiated and preached to his direct disciple Mr.Sivamarriappan alias sakasrahavadukar by our spiritual master Mr.Mistic Selvam.
Later in 2010,Mr.Sivamarriappan preached the same to Mr. K. Viramunni and he had spreaded about the power and benefit of the mantra to the public through the blog in tamil (www.omshivashivaom.blogspot.in).
The siva mantra is nothing other than “om shiva shiva om”. In 1937, Mr. Mistic Selvam was born in the district Rajapalayam; Despite,being served in the government office, he did many spiritual researches and Published the outcome of it. He lived many years in Thenkasi and taught many spiritual secrets in Madurai. Because of his teaching, Peoples …..................................... has been wiped away.
He has three spritualism objective. They are as follows:

1. People around the world must undestand how to chant the mantra “om shiva shiva om”?
   
2. Each and everyone's work and lifetime is decided by God saturn; If a person is affected by the rays of God Saturn, then in the 30 years of his/her lifetime, He/she can be happy only for ten years and the rest of the 20 years, they will suffer from various problems . In order to prevent this, he discovered the worshipping of lord kalabhairava who is the guru of God saturn.
   
3. By doing AnnaDhana, Our previous birth's karma gets wiped away. So, Everyone must follow the culture of Anndhana.
