The Brain consists of two lobes called the Left Brain and the Right Brain. The Mind consists of two units called the Conscious Mind and the Sub-conscious Mind. Most of us were taught to use our Logical Left Brain and Conscious Mind. For the common man, the terms Right Brain, Sub-conscious mind and Hypnosis might seem to be a mystery. Using Hypnosis and accessing our Sub-conscious Mind all of us can awaken the unlimited power inside us, be able to understand our own selves much better, grow and develop much faster, build better interpersonal relationships, effectively solve our problems and also achieve our goals. The Faculty will be led by Mr. Muthiah Ramanathan, our President who is the Director Training, Mind Dynamics Center. He has presented Training programs on various aspects of Self Development to well over 30,000 people during the last 25 years. He has written 2 books in Tamil :Powers of the Sub-conscious Mind and Hypnosis; and How to score more than 90 %. He will be assissted by Dr. C.N.

Besides, those having 5 tomatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended. The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the toma- toes with you for 1 week?". The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly tomatoes wherever they go. Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten toma- toes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime??? " Moral: Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others relieves you and helps you to lead a happy life. ~~~~~ -3- psychologist and a much sought speaker in leading universities.

The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few tomatoes. Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates. So when the day came, every child brought some tomatoes with the name of the people he/ she hated. Some had 2 tomatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the tomatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go for 1week. -14- Mr R Gopalakrishnan Treasurer : Mr Umedmul Bafna Joint Treasurer : Mr. Showkat Ali Committee Members : Ms Amba Sankari Ms Ananthi Karthic Mr S Arun Kumar Mr Muralikrishna Mr K Raja Ms M Rajanisree Mr S Ramalingam Ms S Soshina Saravanan Mr P V Subbiah Mr V Subramanian On behalf of the out-going team and the incoming team, we thank our Senior Member and Election Officer Mr R Venkataraman for presiding over and conducting the Election of Office-bearers and declaring them elected for the term 2013-15 in the General Body meeting held on 10th March 2013 at Hotel Palmgrove. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WOMENS DAY SPECIAL CELEBRATIONS ON 10 MARCH 2013 We are very happy that our Circle had celebrated Womens Day on 10th March 2013.

Thamizharasan People often ask : How can I make a difference in the world ? I am just one person among billions of others, what could I possi- bly do that would change anything? Everyone else should have to change in order for me to make a difference. Well, here is a story of a man who single-handedly moved a mountain! About five decades ago, a landless farmer, Dashrath Manjhi from Gahlor Ghati of Gaya, Bihar decided to take into task the difficulties of his villagers who were almost cut off from the rest of the world by rocky hills, almost making. Around 1959, his wife passed away from illness and lack of immediate medical care when there was no way of taking her to the nearest medical centre over the 300 feet high hills. Heartbro- ken after her death, Manji alone resolved to create a pass so that no one person would have to suffer the fate that his wife did. He sold his goats to purchase chisel, rope and a hammer. This sud- den change in his demeanour made him a laughing stock with people who laughed at him, calling him eccentric and crazy. Unfazed by their remarks, Manji hammered away with consistent determination for 22 years. At the end of his arduous labour, he finally came face to face with his dream: the OTHER SIDE of the HILL! He shortened the distance from 70kms to just ONE KILOMETER, 16ft wide! Once this task was accomplished, -13- pant. Ms Swarna took all of us to a high with Affirmations. Mrs Padma attracted the audience with the Law of Attraction. Ms Soshina, as usual, was all smiles and regaled us with her ex- position on Happiness. Ms Ragini who had come from Banga- lore, introduced us to the Wonderful World of TA and demystified the concepts and made them appear simple and in- teresting. Earlier, Ms Ananthi had set the tone for the event by explain- ing the Differences between Men and Women and peppered every session with her crisp anchoring. She also brought the cur- tains down with a free flowing Mass Relaxation. The credit for lending colour and beauty to the whole show went to the Japa- nese Ikebana trainer, Ms Dally Varghese who had decked up the dias and the tables with exquisite flower arrangements. Adding a musical twist was Ms Bhuvaneswari, who connected with the au- dience by rendering a wonderful song. All the presentations were highly interesting and interactive and evoked great response form the participants. We thank all the Faculty for their contributions. The thematic meeting will cer- tainly be a memorable event in the annals of our Circle. Muthiah Ramanathan - Major V V Narayanan On behalf of the Executive Committee ~~~~~ HYPNOTIQUE CIRCLE WEB-SITE IN INTERNET AND IN FACEBOOK Al so NLP Circl e, Psychology Circl e & Circle f or T A We are delighted to inform you all that we have created a Web- site for our Circle: www.hypnotiquecircle.com We have also made a mark entering the Facebook with several Self Development Circles as follows: -5- only of want they want, all the time. Along with some action they achieve their goal. Positive thoughts only attract positive actions. It is seen that most of our thoughts are negative as we are anxious by nature. We would like to prevent any bad happenings, so we start thinking in a negative way. If you think I dont want to have a bad day you transmit it as I want a bad day. Definitely you will end up having a bad day. Law of attraction does not sift our emotions. It just acts like a channel. Emotions play a pivotal role. If you have to master your thoughts you should master your emotions .Emotion is the map of your thoughts. Never shut your emotions. Embrace them. If you fell good you attract positive thoughts. Positive emotions will at- tract positive thoughts and not vice versa. How to think positively ? Through MENTAL REVISION. What is mental revision? Go to a quiet place and reflect about the event of the day. If you have bad a day, reflect what was the reason. You will get clarity. Thankfulness is another trait we should cultivate . We should thank our subconscious mind for the positive events we enjoyed in life . By contemplating on the positive aspects we automatically break the vicious dwelling on the negative. There is a very interesting technique called the love method . Once we start applying this, it is easy for us to think positively. You need not ell openly I love you. I know you cannot go openly and say I love you" to your boss. He will think differently. Tell it in your mind and I am sure it will work for you. To sum up For the LAW OF ATTRACTION to work you need affirmative thoughts, positive thoughts, genuine desire, gratitude and redefined action. When you add LOVE all of these manifest automatically, as it is impossible for anything negative to arise in this heady mix. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ -12- 1.

This is a simple exercise, and doesnt take up much time, so its certainly worth a try. But be aware that the results are modest initially, and it takes some months for the effects to build up. 7) Discover and Use Your Strengths: Theres a test you can take at authentichappiness.com, which will place the 24 strengths in rank order for you, so youll find which are your real strengths and which are more like weaknesses. It does take around 45 minutes though. After the test youll get some details on your top five strengths, which they call your signature strengths. Research has shown that if you deliberately make use of these strengths on a daily basis, you get happier. 8) Random Acts of Kindness: Kindness, generosity, philanthrophy, altruism or whatever you want to call it, is the cornerstone of most religious and ethical systems. For some reason, performing acts of kind- ness makes the giver as well as the receiver happiness. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ LAW OF ATTRACTION (Nuggets of Talk by Mrs Padma Narayanaswamy - 10 March 2013) Law of attraction is the key that unlocks life's full potential and the essence that animates the whole universe. It is not a magic wand but a self development tool. It works slowly and progres- sively and gives People what they intensely want. How to use this law to work for us? We should have an awareness of the law. We should consciously activate it. Some people achieve what they want. These people have channelised their goal, onto their deepest thoughts. They think -11- It is with immense pleasure we place on records our million thanks and gratitude to Ms Swarna, who has single-handedly created our web-site, and all these Self Development Circles in the Facebook.

Not necessarily. Sometimes affirmations do not bring in the desired results. Even a serious attempt at working with affirmations ends with a negative experience for many. -7- place to take action is intentional activities anything you deliberately think or do. They are: 1) Expand your Social Network: Join clubs, learn social skills and generally just get more from our life. 2) Change your Thinking: Our actions can be broken down into three things thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. Any one of these things will affect the other two. If you feel happy (emotion), youll tend to have happy thoughts too 3) Meditation: Take up any meditation as you wish, to make us happy and peaceful 4) Positive Reminiscence: In a way, this one is the opposite of the meditation we just saw earlier. In meditation, you generally move your attention away from thoughts, and certainly dont encourage them. In positive reminiscence, you deliberately think about your happy memories. When people were asked to spend 15 minutes a day for 4 weeks reminiscing on happy memories, they ended up becoming happier 5) Pursuing Goals: Scientists believe that happiness is a system built into our brains to help us reach goals. When we progress to our goals, we become happier. 6) Expressing Gratitude: A popular gratitude exercise is called three good things. Its simple; every night you write down three good things that happened to you that day, and why they happened. In one study, happiness gradually and consistently increased over six months of doing this. In another ten-week trial, participants ended up happier, in better physical health, and strangely, were spending more -10- Louise Hay in her book "Experience your good now!" explains why. It is not the Affirmation that you repeat once, it is what you SAY and DO the rest of the day that is important. People say their affirmations once a day and complain the rest of the time. Take a look at the following statements. Do you find yourself repeating any of them? DMy life is a mess DI never get my way DNobody loves me DI hate my job DNo one appreciates me DI dont have enough money DI have no energy DLife is so stressful DI feel like a failure DI am not good enough Since every complaint is also an affirmation, the complaints always win, because there are more of them, and they are usually said with great feeling! So lets stop complaining! Next, examine your beliefs. What are the limiting beliefs that are holding you back? DIt is not done DIt is not right DIt is too difficult DIt is too late DNobody else does that / has done it DI will get hurt DI will lose my friends What self-concepts do you hold true for yourself? AM too old, too young, too fat, too thin, too short, too tall, too lazy, too strong, too dumb, too smart, too poor, too worthless, too frivolous, too serious, too stuck ! Use affirmations to change these self-defeating beliefs first. Affirmations are like seeds planted in soil. An environment of negative thoughts and beliefs can never be conducive for positive results. Always expect results. Feel you deserve what you desire and that you are worth it. Say to yourself : DI am good enough, I am worth it DI deserve happiness DI deserve success DI deserve a good job with a good pay -8- DI deserve a beautiful home DI deserve a new car DI deserve good friends DI deserve the best Finally, if you have time for only one affirmation, then just say "I love and accept myself" all the time. Loving and accepting yourself for who you are, is the greatest gift and highest offering that you can ever shower on yourself. Because you are worth it!

Hay) ~~~~~ HAPPINESS QUOTIENT (Snippets of talk by Ms Soshina Saravanan -10th March 2013) Happiness is different things to different people depending upon the situation. Each person is Unique, special and different. There is no one in the world exactly like us. Believe in it. Building self Belief is the first step towards Happiness and better life. When you give happiness to others, automatically you are happy. Your attitude plays a great role in happiness. Positive attitude towards life makes us happy always. Daily changes in your life for happinessn Start each day with expectation n Take time to plan n Give a gift to everyone you meet n Assume people have good intention n Eat high quality food slowly, n End each day with gratitude Happiness = Genetic set point +Life circumstances + Intentional activities Were stuck with our own set of genes for life, so no luck there. Our life circumstances are only slightly relevant. This includes where you live, your gender, health, money, marital status, and so on. We can change all of these, but they only take up 10% of the happiness pie. Ten percent is not insignificant, but the most logical -9-
