Mohideen Hadjiar v. Ganeshan
1S&3 Present: Weerasooriya, S.P.J., and T. S. Fernandos J.
MOHIDEEN HADJIAR, Appellant, and GANESHAN etal., RespondentsS. C. 422/60—1). C. Jaffna, 910/L
Donation—Minor—Capacity to accept a gift—Fideicommissum—Absence of confer-ment of rights on the fiduciarius to take income for himself— Validity of thefideicommissum—Fideicommissum in favour of a family—Construction—J affnaMatrimonial Rights and Inheritance Ordinance (Cap. 58), s. 15.
A minor who has sufficient understanding has the capacity to accept agift.
A father donated certain lands to his son, who was a minor, and, two or threeweeks later, handed over the deed of gift to the donee and told him to keep it.There was also evidence that after the death of the donor, whioh took placewithin six months of the execution of the donation, the donee, along -with theexecutor appointed under the last will of the deceased, entered into possessionof the lands dealt with in the deed of gift.
Held, that the donee, though a minor, had sufficient understanding toaccept the donation and that the evidence was sufficient to establish acceptanceby him of the donation.
A fideicommissum may be valid even though, under the deed creatingit, the fiduciarius is not given any right to take the income for himself from thefideicommissary property, he merely holding the property and allowing theincome to be taken by a third person.
An express prohibition against alienation out of the family of a legateeor donee is itself sufficient to create a fideicommissum in favour of the membersof the family. In such a case the persons to whom alienation is not prohi-bited (i.e., the members of the family) are to be regarded as impliedly designatedby the testator or donor as beneficiaries of the prohibition.
A deed of gift executed by a father in favour of his two sons contained thefollowing clause :—
" I do hereby declare and enjoin that the donees shall not within a periodof twenty-five years from the date of my death alienate the said lands byway of transfer, donation, dowry or by any other document, that they shouldallow the said lands to devolve on their children by way of mudusom andmay only give the said lands to their children by way of donation or dowry,that they shall have no power to encumber the said lands by way of mort-gage, otty or security or by any other document and that the said landsshall not be liable to be executable for any debts incurred by them."
Held, that the clause created a valid fideicommissum in favour of a family.Not only did it contain an express prohibition against alienation except to thechildren of the donees in the manner specified (by donation or dowry), but italso sufficiently indicated that the persons to be benefited by the prohibitionwere the same children. It contemplated that the children were to succeedto the property on the death of the donees within the period of twenty-fiveyears specified in the clause.
WEERASOORTYA, S.P.J.—Mohidaen Hadjiar v. (Jonathan
Appeal from a judgment of the District Court, Jaffna.
C. Thiagalingam, Q.C., with J. N. David, for defendant-appellant.S. Sharvananda. with if. Shanmugalingam, for plaintiffs-respondents.
Our. adv. vult.
August 27,1963. Wekrasooriya. S.P.J.—
The 2nd and 4th plaintiffs-respondents are the daughters of one Kathira.velupillai, son of Murugesupillai. They have filed this action against thedefendant-appellant for declaration of title to a half-share of the easternhalf of certain premises situated in Main Street, Jaffna, for possessionthereof, damages and costs.
The original owner of the premises was Murugesupillai, who by deedNo. 21891 of the 3rd March, 1921, donated several properties includingthe premises in suit to Kathirvelupillai and his other son Kumaravelu-pillai. The deed is in Tamil. Ex facie there is no acceptance of thedonation by the donees. Two English translations of the deed, markedPI and Dl, have been put in by the plaintiffs and the defendant respec-tively. D1 was produced as 1D19 in D. C. Jaffna No. L915 where thesame questions of construction of deed No. 21891 arose as in the presentcase. Evidence of experts was led in that case as to the correct renderingof the deed, and was by agreement of parties adopted as evidence in thepresent case. After considering such, evidence the trial Judge (who alsoheard case No. L915) held that as between PI and Dl, the former was thebetter translation. This finding was not canvassed at the hearing of theappeal before us.
The following clauses in PI are material for the purposes of the appeal,and are marked A and B for easy reference :
" I do hereby declare and enjoin that the donees shall notwithin a period of twenty-five years from the date of my death alienatethe said lands by way of transfer, donation, dowry or by any otherdocument, that they should allow the said lands to devolve on theirchildren by way of mudusom and may only give the said lands to theirchildren by way of donation or dowry, that they shall have no powerto encumber the said lands by way of mortgage, otty or security orby any other document and that the said lands shall not be liable tobe executable for any debts incurred by them. **
"I do hereby nominate and appoint their grandfather Hlantha-laivasingha Irunathamudaliyar ThilTainather of Yannarponnai Eastand Saravanamuttu Ambalavanar of Vaddukkodai East after me andgive them power to jointly and severally look after and manage thesaid properties and to utilise the produce and income thereof for thefood, clothing and education of the said Kathiravelupillai and Kumara-velupilli and for their wives and children during the said period. **
WEERASOORIYA, S.P.J.—Mohideen Hadjiar v. Qaneekan
After deed No. 21891 was executed, Kumaravelupillai, one of the twodonees, died unmarried and without issue, leaving as his heir Mb fatherMurugesupillai in respect of a half-share of the lands dealt with in thatdeed. Murugesupillai died a few months later on the 27th August, 1921,having made a last will which was duly admitted to probate and underwhich the said half-share devolved on Kathiravelupillai. By deed D2of 1931 Kathiravelupillai sold an undivided half-share out of the easternhalf of the premises figuring in the present action to one VisuvanatbarPonnudurai. The devolution of the other half-share of the eastern halfis as follows : Kathiravelupillai (who died in 1940) sold it in 1934 toSinnathambv Vinasithamby on P5. Vinasithamby died leaving a lastwill under which his widow TMyalmuttu was appointed executrix.Thiyalmuttu having obtained probate thereof sold that half-share ondeed D3 of 1935 to Visuvanathar Ponnudurai, the transferee on D2of the other half-share. Ponnudurai, by deed D4 of 1942, sold theentirety of the eastern half to the defendant. This action concerns onlythe half-share of the eastern half which the defendant claims on the chainof title represented by deeds No. 21891 and P5, D3 and D4.
The case went to trial on seven issues. The trial Judge found in favourof the 2nd and 4th plaintiffs on all of them and he entered judgment asprayed for with costs except in regard to damages, which were as agreedupon at the trial. From this judgment the defendant has filed the presentappeal. The only findings of the trial Judge which Mr. Thiagalingamwho appeared for the defendant, canvassed at the hearing of the appealwere on the issues whether deed No. 21891 created a fidei commissum(Issues Nos. 1 and 4) and whether the deed was invalid for want ofacceptance (Issue No. 7).
The evidence of the plaintiffs' witness Suppiah is that Kathiravelupillaiand Kumaravelupillai were minors when deed No. 21891 was executedand that two or three weeks after its execution Murugesupillai, who wassuffering from a carbuncle, obtained the deed from the notary and, havingsummoned Kathirvelupillai before him, requested Suppiah to hand thedeed to Kathirvelupillai and after the deed was handed over, Murugesu-pillai told Kathirvelupillai to keep it. The evidence of Suppiah wasaccepted by the trial Judge. While not disputing the sufficiency of thisevidence to establish acceptance of the donation by Kathiravelupillai,had he been of full age, Mr. Thiagalingam contended that as a matter oflaw Kathiravelupillai was not competent to accept the donation becausehe was a minor at the time. For this proposition Mr. Thiagalingam reliedon the case of WeUappu v. Mudalihamy A different view of the lawrelating to acceptance of a donation by a minor was, however, takenin Nagalingam v. Thandbalasinghama; where Canakeratne, J., stated inhis judgment (with wMch Dias, J., agreed) that for the purpose of accep-tance minors may be divided into two classes, viz., those who are o

tender years, who may be termed children, and those who liave sufficientintelligence. He then went on to make the following observations:" One who may be said to be a child is taken to lack all mental capacityor power to form a decision and so can enter into no transaction whatso-ever, his guardian, whether natural or appointed, acts for him withoutconsulting him, and with complete authority. Such a child can hardlyaccept a gift. One of the second class is deemed capable of thinking forhimself, has inteUectus, but since he is yet inexperienced and likely toact rashly, the necessary auctoritas of his guardian must generally beinterposed to make the transaction absolutely binding. Such a minor,however, can take the benefit of a contract and thus he can himself accepta gift". An appeal filed to Her Majesty in Council in that case wasallowed, but on other grounds, and the question whether a minor canhimself accept a gift was left undecided by the Privy Council1.
Mr. Thiagalingam also relied on a sentence in the j udgment of Withers, J.,in Fernando et al. v. Cannangarct ei al. * where, in considering whether agift by a father in favour of his minor children could have been validlyaccepted by a nephew of the donor, the learned Judge said: " Thesechildren were one and all incompetent to accept the gift But, as thechildren themselves had not purported to accept the gift, this observationwould appear to be at the most an obiter dictum,. At any rate, it is doubt-ful whether Withers, J., intended to lay down, as an unqualified rule, thatno minor, whatever his age, has the capacity to accept a gift.
Another case in which it was held that a minor who has sufficientunderstanding may himself accept a gift is Babaihamy v. Marcinahamyet al. 3. With respect, I would follow that case as well as the case ofNagalingam v. Thanabcdasingham (supra).
In the present case, although Kathiravelupillai is said to have been aminor at the time of the execution of deed Ho. 21891, his father Murugesu-pillai evidently considered that he was old enough to be entrusted withthe deed. There is also evidence that after the death of Murugesupillai,which took place within six months of the execution of the deed, Kathira-velupillai along with the executor appointed under the last will of thedeceased, entered into possession of the lands dealt with in that deed.It would seem, therefore, that Kathiravelupillai had sufficient understand-ing to accept the donation. Apart from this, it is to be noted that anessential link in the defendant's chain of title to the half-share in disputeis P5, executed on the footing that deed No. 21891 was a valid donation.Can the defendant, while taking advantage of deed No. 21891 tor thepurpose of her claim that she has title to that half-share, turn roundand say that the same deed is invalid for want of acceptance when theclaim of the 2nd and 4th plaintiffe is being considered ? The equitabledoctrine that a person cannot approbate and reprobate would appearto preclude the defendant from taking up such a position. As explainedby Lord Eldon in Ker v. Wauchope * the meaning of this doctrine is that

no person can accept and reject the same instrument. See also theobservations of Viscount Maugham in his speech in the House of Lordsin Lissenden v. Bosch Ltd.1 I see no reason, therefore, to interfere withthe finding of the trial Judge that deed No. 21891 is not invalid for wantof acceptance.
There remains the question whether deed No. 21891 created a fidei-commissum. The interpretation of this deed was considered as farback as 1949 in S. C. No. 257/D. C. Jaffna Case No. 3233 2, when a benchof two Judges of this Court (Canekeratne and Gunasekara, JJ.) answeredthe question in the affirmative. No significant difference between Pi andthe translation of deed No. 21891 filed in that case was brought to ournotice by counsel for the appellant as a ground for taking a contraryview in regard to the same question in the present case. The followingpassage from the judgment of Canekeratne, J., in that case seems to meetthe argument of Mr. Thiagalingam that clause B in PI (which I havequoted earlier) is inconsistent with a fidei commissum : " But one pointwhich has been emphasised is the fact that the management of theproperty is given for a number of years to another person. Usually afidei commissum of the Roman Dutch Law vests the property in thefiduciary and on the happening of a certain event it is to devolve on athird person, the fiduciary having the legal right to take the income forhimself. But it is also the law that a fidei commissum may be createdin any way. It is only a question of the interpretation of the deed orwill as the case may be. A fidei commissum may be created in such away as to make the fiduciary something like an administrator's peg, ora mere holder of the title without having any right to the income, hemerely holding the property and allowing the income to be taken by athird person ". In Sinnepillaipody v. Muhamaduthamby3 it was held thatthere can be a fideicommissum without any conferment of rights on thefiduciarius to enjoy the fruits and profits of the fideicommissary property.In view of these authorities I do not think that the provisions of clauseB in PI can be regarded as inconsistent with a fideicommissum.
Clause A contains, inter alia, an express prohibition against alienationby an act inter vivos or by last will except to the children of the donees.Mr. Thiagalingam strenuously contended that inasmuch as there is nodesignation of the beneficiaries the prohibition is " nude " and thereforeineffective. But according to Voet 36-1-27 (Gane's Translation)" Forbidding alienation out of family is fideicommissum ", and he givesas an instance where a testator provides that the property " shall notgo away from his line and from his blood ". In Invent et al. v. Guna-raina4 a clause in a last will, which was in the following terms"I …. do hereby restrict my three sons from selling, mortgaging
or otherwise disposing of my landed property which they shall inheritfrom my estate …. to any stranger or out of my lineage ", washeld by a bench of two Judges of this Court (Lascelles, C.J., and Walter

Pereira, J.) to create a fidei commissum in favour of the " lineage "of the testator. There is also the case oi Robert v. Abeyewardane etal.1where de Sampayo, J., sitting alone, stated that a prohibition againstalienation out of the family of a legatee or donee is itself sufficient tocreate a fideicommissum in favour of members of the family. ButProfessor Nadaraja in his book on the Roman Dutch Law ofBideicommissa refers to several later cases which he seems to thinkare in conflict with the above mentioned two decisions. The latercases referred to by him are collected at page 129 of his book.They are decisions of two Judges of this Court. In some of themthe judgments were delivered by de Sampayo, J., himself. In NainaLebbe v. Maraikar et al.2 a gift by husband and wife to their threesons was subject to the condition that "if they like, to alienate orencumber their share by any deed, such as mortgage or transfer, theyshall do so between themselves and not with others". De Sampayo, J.,thought that this condition had " no analogy to the well known form offideicommissum which is created by prohibiting alienation out of thefamily". In Comelis et al. v. Waituhamy3 the Court had to construe thefollowing clause in a joint will in favour of the children of the testators :
"if the aforesaid parties mortgage, lease out, transfer, gift out
or give over in any way any lands of this estate to anyone other than anheir of this estate such grant shall be null and void and the propertyshall belong to the estate." Regarding this clause de Sampayo, J.,stated : " (It) hardly creates a fideicommissum. I cannot quite see whoare the persons who are to get the property in the event of alienation inbreach of the condition. All that I can find is that the property shouldbelong to the estate". In Amarawickremev. Jayasingheet al. 4 a bequestby husband and wife to their children provided that if the latter requiredto sell the immovable property which they shall become entitled to fromour estate, they shall sell the same to an heir of this estate for the thenvalue but it is prohibited to sell the same to any one else De Sampayo,
J.. stated that the case was clearly distinguishable from Robert v. Abeye-tvardene et al. (supra) and that the clause in question contained a bareprohibition which had no legal effect except, perhaps, to give the nomi-nated heirs a right of pre-emption if any of them should wish to sell hisshare. It will be seen, therefore, that these three decisions were notconsidered by de Sampayo, J., as departing from the principle stated byhim in Robert v. Abeyezoardane et al. (supra).
In Peiris v. Soysa et al. 5 a grant of property was made absolutelyin favour of four children of the donor's sister, with a direction that if itbecame necessary to sell or mortgage the property it should be done amongthe grantees and that it should not be Bold or mortgaged to any " out-sider Ennis, J., who delivered the judgment in that case (withwhich Loos, A.J., agreed) expressed the view that it was not on ailfours with the case of Robert v. Abeyewardane et al. (supra), in regard to
<• WEERASOORIYA, S.P.J.—Mohideen Eadjiar v. Oaneshan
which, however, he said that he found "some difficulty". The sameJudge, in Hadjiar v. Meyappa1, held (Porter, J., agreeing) that no fideicommissum was created by a provision in a last will giving to the testator'sson, N, certain lands "subject to a fidei commissum, i.e., the said N canonly take and enjoy during his lifetime the profit accruing from the saidtwo lands, but that he or his heirs shall not sell or mortgage them, norcan the.) donate them as gift to any outsider, and that after the deathof the said IT the lands shall rest on his heirs and that these shall haveno power to sell or mortgage them nor to donate them as gift to anyoutsider
In Kifhiratne v. Salgado 2 A, the donor, had gifted by deed a definedhalf share of a land to his daughter and two nephews and the other halfshare to B. It was provided that if B " required " to sell, mortgage, ordispose of in any way her share she should do so only to any one or moreof the other three donees and not do any act whatsoever to enable anoutsider to acquire " any proprietorship " over it and, further, that if Bdied without any such transfer of ownership her share was to be inheritedby her adopted daughter, C, and if B and C were to die without anydescendants the share was to devolve on the donor's daughter aforesaid.Macdonell, C.J., and Dalton, J., held in separate judgments, but not forquite the same reasons, that the deed did not create a fideicommissum inrespect of the half share donated to B.
In so far as these cases would appear to be in conflict with the earliercases of Livera et al. v. Gunaratna and Robert v. Abeyewardane (supra),Professor Nadaraja expresses the opinion (at page 128) that the correctlegal position is (as stated by de Sampayo, J., in Robert v. Abeyewardaneet al.) that a prohibition against alienation out of the family of a legateeor donee is itself sufficient to create a fideicommissum in favour of themembers of the family. Such, it would seem, was also the view of thePrivy Council in the South African case of Josef and Others v. Mulderand Others 8, where husband and wife married in community transferredby deed to their son certain immovable property for valuable considera-tion, stipulating that the same " shall never be sold or parted with infavour of a stranger but shall permanently remain among legal heirs ".The decision that the deed created a fidei commissum implies that thePrivy Council considered that the legal heirs were sufficiently indicated(though not expressly) as the persons to be benefited by the prohibition.
The question whether clause A in Pi creates a fidei commissum or notis largely a matter of construction of the document. The principlesapplicable are not in doubt. A tacit fidei commissum, which is what we1 (1922) 23 N. L. R. 333.*- (1932) 31 N. L. R. 69.
WEERASOORIYA, S-P.J.—Mokideen Hadjiar v. Qaneshan
are concerned with in the present case, arises where there is an expressprohibition against alienation, coupled with a sufficient indication as tothe person or persons to be benefited by the prohibition and as to thetime at which their rights are to vest. In my opinion, where there is anexpress prohibition against alienation out of the family, the persons towhom alienation is not prohibited (i.e. the members of the family) are to beregarded as impliedly designated by the testator or donor as beneficiariesof the prohibition.
Not only does clause A in PI contain an express prohibition againstalienation except to the children of the donees in the manner specified(by donation or dowry), but it also sufficiently indicates that the personsto be benefited by the prohibition are the same children. Mr. Thiaga-lingam argued on the authority of Pabilinci v. Kcirunaratne et al.1 (adecision of three Judges) that, even so, there has been a failure of theintended fidei commissum as clause A is not clear as to when the childrenof the doBees are to succeed to the property. The prohibition againstalienation in that case was in the following terms : "We hereby covenantwith the said …. that the said three donees or each of them canneither sell, mortgage nor alienate the portion of land and that theirchildren can do whatever they please therewith Canekeratne, J.,in a judgment with which Howard, C-J., and Windham, J., agreed, heldthat it was not clear whether the words used meant that the children wereto succeed to the property if the donees acted contrary to the prohibitionagainst alienation or in some other event. In the present case, however,the language used is far more specific, for clause A requires the donees toallow the lands to devolve on their children by way of mudusam (i.e. ifthe same had not already been given to them by way of donation crdowry). According to section 15 of the Jaffna Matrimonial Bights andInheritance Ordinance (Cap. 5S) property devolving on a person bydescent at the death of his or her parent or of any other ancestor in theascending line is called mudusam or patrimonial inheritance. I thinkthat clause A contemplated that the children were to succeed to theproperty on the death of the donees within the period of twenty-fiveyears specified in that clause.
For the foregoing reasons I would dismiss the appeal with costs:
T. S. FEBNAjtno, J.—I agree.
Appeal dismissed.

FNB has published its latest Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) showing that consumer confidence remains trapped at a two-year low, with the country's economic prospects expected to worsen before they get better.
The FNB/BER CCI combines the results of three questions posed to adults in South Africa: namely the expected performance of the economy, the expected financial position of households and the rating of the appropriateness of the present time to buy durable goods, such as furniture, appliances and electronic equipment.
Consumer confidence is expressed as a net balance. The net balance is derived as the percentage of respondents expecting an improvement/good time to buy durable goods less the percentage expecting a deterioration/bad time to buy durable goods.

JOHNSON, VT – The Thomas College men's basketball team allowed a second half lead to slip away as Johnson State came back to win, 86-77, in a North Atlantic Conference (NAC) matchup on Saturday.
The Terriers drop to 6-7 (4-2 NAC) on the season while the Badgers move to .500 at 6-6 (2-3 NAC).
Leading scorers Tyheem Simon (Far Rockaway, N.Y. / Lawrence) and Carlos Gonzalez (Kennebunk, Maine / Lewiston) took control of the Terriers offense in the first seven minutes scoring the first 12 points for the Terriers. The Badgers held a slim advantage in the as they went 4-for-7 from behind the arch. Rasul Jackson hit two of the three-pointers to keep his team ahead.
Thomas answered back on three-straight threes from Simon, Tailour Hall (Jacksonville, Florida / Edward White), and Ian King (Westbrook, Maine / Westbrook) to take a 36-32 lead. Jordan Derosby (Waterville, Maine / Waterville) and Simon each added a layup before the end of the half to give the Terriers a 43-40 advantage at the break.
Both teams came out in the second half with a hot hand as the Terriers jumped out on a 14-10 run in the first five minutes. Benjamin Holl hit two threes and chipped in with a layup for the Badgers to keep within striking distance.
Willie Grant (Philadelphia, PA / Paul Robeson) netted eight points along with six from Simon to give the Terriers a 67-61 lead with 11:15 remaining. At 8:33, Holl, Kawaun Chavis, and Hayden Tomlinson all knocked down threes to take a 72-69 lead for the Badgers.
Holl and Chavis continued their hot shooting to hold an 82-77 lead over Thomas with 1:17 left. Thomas missed opportunities in the final seconds as Johnson hit their free throws to earn an 86-77 victory.
Simon finished with 23 points and three rebounds while Gonzalez added 18 points and eight rebounds. Grant contributed with ten second half points and two assists.
Holl led the Badgers to the victory with 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting while going 5-for-7 from three. Chavis ended with 21 points and six rebounds.

Looking to learn more about your brand's performance through customer and product insights, but aren't seeing anything? Let's find out why.
Predictive Order Likelihood
If you're not seeing the Predictive Order Likelihood explorer, there may be a few reasons why:
Orders are not being sent, or there are too few of them. If there are no order events, or too few events, the model can't make predictions. This situation might happen when:
- The account is new and doesn't have enough past data synced.
- Offline purchases aren't sent to the account.
- The business deals with very low volume.
To address these scenarios, work with your Customer Success Manager or our Support Team to sync all possible orders and events to your account.
There isn't enough consistent data for a good model. If all shopping and purchasing behavior is not or cannot be sent consistently, it is hard for the model to understand what happens before a purchase. This situation might happen when:
- There's a combination of online and offline purchases where offline data is not synced.
- Offline shopping makes up a significant part of the consideration cycle.
- The event that indicates a conversion is not an "Order" event.
To address these scenarios, work with your Customer Success Manager or our Support Team to see if there are other events you can sync or different types of events to identify as "Order" events.
Product Opportunities
If you're not seeing the Product Opportunities explorer in your account, there may be a few reasons why:
- Product detail pageviews are not firing.
- The product catalog is not synced.
- Orders are not synced.
To fix this, ensure your integration is sending the appropriate data. For assistance with this process, work with your Customer Success Manager or our Support Team. Please note, the Product Opportunities explorer will not be available for inventory-1 SKUs (auctions, one-of-a-kind, or custom products).
Observations & Insights Attributes
Most observations and insights are based on order data, product data, campaign data, or site visitation data. If one of these is missing, the attribute will not populate. If you think you are sending that data and the missing attribute data is in error, or you want to sync additional data, work with your Customer Success Manager or our Support Team to get this data flowing.

Acceptance Defusion and Mindfulness
Mindfulness is traditionally defined as nonjudgmental awareness of, and contact with, the current moment (Kabat-Zinn, 1990). It involves openness to experience and recognition that thoughts and feelings are passing events that do not need to be acted upon. From an ACT point of view, mindfulness involves four key processes (Hayes, 2004) acceptance of experience, defusion from the literal meaning of thought (e.g., observing the thought as a thought, not as what it says it is), continuous contact with the present moment, and a transcendent sense of self. Mindfulness techniques, which generally foster all of these processes, provide a context in which the client can experience internal private events in the moment that is, observing them as something the mind does without necessarily treating these events as reality. Practicing mindfulness provides exposure to emotion while simultaneously reducing experiential avoidance and demonstrating that emotional events themselves are not harmful....
What in the world is consciousness
Abstract The concept of consciousness is multifaceted, and steeped in cultural and intellectual history. This paper explores its complexities by way of a series of contrasts (i) states of consciousness, such as wakefulness and sleep, are contrasted with awareness, a term that picks out the contents of consciousness, which range across all our psychological capacities (ii) consciousness is contrasted to self-consciousness, which is itself a complex term embracing self-detection, self-monitoring, self-recognition theory of mind and self-knowledge (iii) narrow and broad senses of consciousness are contrasted, the former requiring mature human awareness capable of guiding action and self-report, the latter involving the much broader capacity to acquire and exploit knowledge (iv) an inner conception of consciousness, by which awareness is essentially private and beyond the reach of scientific scrutiny, is contrasted with an outer conception which allows that consciousness is intrinsically...
Changing Therapeutics in the Management of Intractable Pain in Children at the End of Life 19952005
Pain that cannot be alleviated using conventional treatment is intractable. Intractable pain that does not respond to therapies beyond conventional practice is refractory. The relief of refractory pain may require a therapy that reduces conscious awareness. Intractable pain in childhood is unusual and is mostly seen in the setting of cancer pain and at the end of life. Intractable childhood cancer pain is usually disease related. Disease-related pain often recurs at the time of tumor recurrence and when the cancer becomes unresponsive to treatment. greater understanding of the management of opioid side effects to permit greater opioid dose escalation the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists as new therapeutic options and better understanding of invasive approaches to pain management in children. Given the change in therapeutics, it may be that fewer children need to be sedated to reduce conscious awareness of intractable symptoms.
Different Types of Meditation
Another variant of the Buddhist tradition is Vipassana (mindfulness meditation), which attempts to fill the mind with several streams of thought simultaneously, focusing on everything present in the surroundings. A common technique in mindfulness meditation is the body scan, moving one's focus through the body, usually while lying down. Focusing may be comprehensive and include, for example, body parts, pain, street sounds, and other noises. According to Transcendental Meditation , which is a form of passive mantra meditation popularized by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (9), meditators return their attention to the mantra whenever they become aware that their attention has wandered, but they do not use mental effort to maintain the mantra in conscious awareness. The result of trying to think of the mantra without expending effort is that TM meditators become increasingly aware of the effort exerted in producing thought. Wallace (9) defines TM as turning attention inwards, towards subtler...
Common Treatment Obstacles and Possible Solutions
There are three areas in which therapists generally make mistakes when using acceptance-based approaches. First, and specifically with ACT therapy, it is very easy to get caught up in the content of what the client has to say, and therapy can be derailed when this happens. It is critical to maintain a focus on context by asking the client to notice the content and process of his or her private experience on a frequent basis. The therapist should also take notice at those times, in the sense of being mindful of the ongoing process. This perspective or frame helps create a sense of distance and objectivity toward the content at issue.
Context and the firstperson perspective
If we consider Gazzaniga's narrative interpreter of the dominant hemisphere to be one kind of self-system in the brain, it must receive its own flow of sensory input. Visual input from one-half of the field may be integrated in one visual hemicortex, as described above, under retinotopic control from area V1. But once it comes together in late visual cortex (presumably in inferotemporal object regions), it needs to be conveyed to frontal areas on the dominant hemisphere, in order to inform the narrative interpreter of the current state of perceptual affairs. The left prefrontal self system then applies a host of criteria to the input, such as did I intend this result Is it consistent with my current and long-term goals If not, can I reinterpret it to make sense in my running account of reality It is possible that the right hemisphere has a parallel system that does not speak but that may be better able to deal with anomalies via irony, jokes, and other emotionally useful strategies....
The Chronic Pain Self Management Program
LeFort 22 developed the Chronic Pain Self-Management Program (CPSMP) in 1995 by adapting the ASMP in order to make it more directly applicable to people with chronic pain. Modifications were made with respect to (i) myths and information about chronic pain, (ii) understanding acute and chronic pain, (iii) pacing activity and rest, (iv) exercise, (v) communicating about chronic pain, (vi) breathing and body awareness, and (viii) medications.
Amplification of Visceral Afferent Signals
Perhaps the best clinical model for the effects of inflammation on visceral hypersensitivity is the postinfectious IBS model (PI-IBS). This was the diagnosis in the first case report, with Ms. L.R. Recent evidence suggests that PI-IBS actually results from a combination of an inflammation-induced altered mucosal immune system that sensitizes visceral afferent nerves (2), in addition to some degree of central emotional distress. The stress further amplifies the afferent signal to a point of conscious awareness (13,25). In the first prospective study to address this issue, 94 patients hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis and no prior history of bowel complaints were followed up three months later (26). Although most (n 72) of the patients recovered clinically, 22 continued with abdominal pain and bowel dysfunction. Notably, both the symptomatic and the recovered postinfectious groups had similar levels of gut hyper-motility and visceral sensitivity. However, greater psychological...
Discussion and conclusions
Should consciousness be viewed as a graded or as an all-or-none phenomenon Some computational theories of consciousness, in particular global workspace models, assume that once a representation has entered the workspace, it is fully conscious. Dehaene specifically refers to this process as ignition , and accordingly predicts that all measures of conscious awareness should systematically be strongly associated with each other (Dehaene et al., 1998, 2003 Dehaene and Naccache, 2001 Dehaene and Changeux, 2004). In this view, consciousness is thus an all-or-none phenomenon. Other frameworks, in contrast, predict that consciousness is fundamentally graded (Cleeremans and Jimenez, 2002 Moutoussis and Zeki, 2002 Lamme, 2004). While there is a clear sense in which one is either aware or unaware of a stimulus (i.e., I perceive the stimulus or I do not), there are also other cases where there is a clear sense of gradedness in conscious experience (e.g., ambient noises, for instance, or perhaps...
Attention and consciousness
With the corollary discharge, and equates it to 'pure consciousness experience'. He reasons that there exists a buffer in the model, the neural activity of which is the correlate of the consciousness of the organism. The corollary discharge signal appears in this buffer briefly, to be immediately followed by the sensory signal of that which has been attended as selected by the discharge. Therefore the pure conscious state is a temporal extension of the content-less pre-reflective self state. The CODAM model allows Taylor and his colleagues to arrive at several important conclusions. For example, they explain the meditational processes aimed at achieving a state of 'pure consciousness' found in several Eastern religions. They argue that advanced forms of meditation force the attentional corollary discharge to block sensory input and turn to attending only to itself. Another application is the explanation of the at-tentional blink which occurs when someone is asked to attend to several...
Studies in MS and Other Conditions
Another MS study evaluated the effects of mindfulness of movement, a component of t'ai chi (2). Mindfulness of movement involves developing a moment-to-moment awareness of the quality of breathing, movement, and posture. In the study, eight people with MS were given one-on-one instruction in mindfulness of movement as well as audio and videotape aids. The placebo-treated group, which also included eight people with MS, continued with their current care program. People were assessed before the program and after 3 months. Those who participated in mindfulness of movement showed improvement in multiple symptoms, as assessed by patients and by relatives. Limitations of this study include a relatively large number of people who dropped out of the study, small numbers of people overall in the study, and the lack of objective (blinded) clinicians for assessment. Larger and more rigorous studies of t'ai chi in MS are needed.
Tools For Traumarelated Problems
A primary feature of most treatments for PTSD is to educate clients about the disorder and the rationales for treatment. Treatments focus on providing information and teaching new skills for living. Those who deliver cognitive-behavioral interventions explicitly conceptualize much of what they do as skills training, and as the field has developed, cognitive-behavioral methods have been designed to address a wide and growing array of skills that can be taught by clinicians to their clients. In this book, skills training approaches are outlined across chapters and form large parts of some of the interventions discussed, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as summarized by Wagner and Linehan in Chapter Six, the Skills Training in Affect and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) treatment described by Cloitre and Rosenberg in Chapter Thirteen, and the Seeking Safety protocol presented by Najavits in Chapter Ten. The book as a whole includes extensive discussion of the client skills sets...
Relaxation Therapy
There are many different types of relaxation techniques which include meditation, mind body interaction, music- or sound-induced relaxation, mental imagery, and biofeedback. Rhythmic, deep, visualized or diaphragmatic breathing may also be used. Most studies of relaxation therapies are of poor quality and provide conflicting results. There is some evidence of short-term benefit in chronic low back pain for combined cognitive therapy and progressive relaxation therapy 28 . Mindfulness based stress reduction, a learned meditation technique that has been applied to many chronic psychological and physical health conditions, appears to be associated with significant and sustained improvements in pain intensity 29 , but has yet to be subjected to adequately sized randomized trials.
Treatment Method
Other, more formal, meditation methods include transcendental meditation, mindfulness meditation (or vipassana), and meditation techniques associated with Zen (the Chinese word for meditation) and yoga. Mindfulness meditation has been extensively described and researched by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn. The relaxation response also may be produced by hypnosis, guided imagery, biofeedback, and prayer, all of which are discussed in detail elsewhere in this book.
When working with survivor couples we strive for consistency and predictability as a way of creating and maintaining a safe and trustworthy environment. There are many ways to demonstrate consistency and predictability, ranging from the basic structure of the therapy environment to maintaining a peacekeeper stance to control potentially damaging behavior in session. Maintaining consistency in some of the more basic areas can be extremely beneficial in providing a safe environment (a guideline that is common to most therapeutic orientations). Finding and maintaining a particular day and time for sessions that works for both the therapist and the couple, starting and ending sessions on time, and beginning and ending sessions in a predictable way (e.g., with a mindfulness exercise by checking in with the couple on thoughts about their previous or current session) are all structural ways of providing consistency.
Modeling is frequently used in conjunction with the previous principles. While we were reviewing the principle of contingent responding in relation to couple therapy, we noted that there are a number of clinically relevant behaviors emitted by both partners that represent potential opportunity for intervention by the therapist. Similarly, the therapist's interactions with the couple provide multiple opportunities for modeling new forms of behavior. Again, a thorough and ongoing functional analysis of the couple's problems will serve to make the therapist more mindful of potential opportunities for learning through modeling. At times this modeling will be done explicitly for the couple however, more important opportunities may occur using a subtler approach. one of the most important forms of behavior that the therapist will work to model consistently is validating behavior. During the first few sessions, the therapist would not draw attention to his or her validating behavior....
(2) Specialized process theories assume that consciousness arises from specific computations that occur in a dedicated mechanism, as in Schacter's (1989) Conscious Awareness System (CAS) model. Schacter's model assumes that the CAS's main function is to integrate inputs from various domain specific modules, and to make this information available to executive systems. It is therefore a specialized model in that it assumes that there exist specific regions in the brain whose function is to make its contents available to conscious awareness. It is a process model to the extent that any representation that enters the CAS will become available to conscious awareness in virtue of the processes that manipulate these representations, and not in virtue of properties of those representations themselves. More recent computational models of consciousness also fall into this category, most notably Dehaene and colleagues' (1998) neural workspace model and Crick and Koch's (2003) framework, both of...
What is the physiological basis to justify this conceptual model Chronic pain is a multidimensional (sensory, emotional, and cognitive) experience, best explained by abnormalities in the neurophysiological functioning at the afferent, spinal, and central nervous system (CNS) levels (7). Chronic pain is distinct from acute pain arising from peripheral visceral injury or disease, because structural abnormalities, motility disturbances, and tissue damage leading to increased afferent visceral stimuli are not prominent and may not even be present. As pain becomes more chronic, the CNS becomes the primary modulator of the pain experience and can even amplify incoming regulatory (i.e., non-nociceptive) visceral afferent signals to the point of conscious awareness and distress. The discussion below provides a plausible explanation for amplification of chronic pain from both peripheral and central sources (3).

The battle of Isandlwana was the largest defeat the British empire had ever felt. More has been written about this battle than any other single engagement in the history of South Africa. One of the reasons for this is that the true story will never be told as all the British soldiers who stayed until the end were killed. Zulu reports suffer from from inaccurate translations and from the time lapse between the battle and their recording.

CWU Che'Lynn Smith presents her research project during a recent McNair Scholars Program class at CWU.

Statistically speaking, most students who fall into the second camp come from low-income families with limited exposure to higher education.That's where the McNair Scholars Program at Central Washington University steps in. For most of the past 28 years, a dedicated team of CWU staff and faculty has been recruiting students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds to pursue future opportunities in academia. Many of them are first-generation college students, but that isn't a requirement for acceptance. Through the federally funded Trio program, juniors and seniors who are approved receive paid research training, network connections, institutional support, and character development skills as they prepare to advance beyond their undergraduate studies.The success of the McNair Scholars Program at CWU since 1992 is difficult to measure, but based on the reviews from current and former participants, their experiences have been lifealtering."Without McNair, I wouldn't even be thinking about graduate school," said Jasmin Washington, a senior public health major who also serves as ASCWU president. "This program has shown me how far I can go with my education, and I wouldn't have had the same opportunities if I hadn't become involved. Honestly, McNair has been the best thing about my college career so far.""It's such an amazing program, and I'm so grateful that I was given the opportunity," added Andre Dickerson, a CWU biology graduate who went on to earn two master's degrees.Dickerson has been serving as the director of the Center for Leadership and Community Engagement (CLCE) for the past three years, and he is planning to pursue a doctoral degree in higher education leadership. He said McNair played an integral role in helping him realize his potential."I feel very blessed because the connections I made through the program really empowered me," he said. "If I hadn't found out about McNair, I have no idea what my career trajectory would have been."About the CWU programThe Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program, as it is formally known, is named after the late NASA astronaut and is funded by Congress through five-year grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Education. One of three Trio programs offered at CWU, the McNair Scholars chapter was among the first in Washington state to provide students from disadvantaged backgrounds with opportunities for academic growth and development beyond their undergraduate education. Today, there are more than 180 institutions nationwide that create similar opportunities for undergraduates looking to pursue graduate degrees.Nearly three decades since its inception, the CWU program has kickstarted the careers of hundreds of graduates and has become a great source of pride for the university."McNair has been one of the most impactful academic programs I've ever been a part of," said Alex Harrington, a senior political science major who serves as the student representative on the CWU Board of Trustees. "I didn't even know I could do undergrad research, but the staff and my mentor guided me through the whole process. Now, I'm looking forward to continuing my research and pursuing a PhD. None of that would have been possible without all the support I have gotten through McNair."Developing young professionalsCWU McNair Scholars program director Pamela Nevar and her staff of three work out of a firstfloor suite in the Language and Literature (L&L) building, offering assistance and support to 27 students per academic year. Upon being selected, the scholars connect with on-campus mentors in their major and work with them to advance their proposed research projects. Program participants attend a weekly McNair Scholars class, where they learn about the graduate school application process, refine their research, and develop relationships with campus experts and others in their fields of study. They're also afforded plenty of one-on-one time with their mentors, advisers, and the McNair staff."We serve as a support system and give these students the guidance that they may not otherwise receive," said Nevar, who succeeded CWU biology professor Lucinda Carnell in September 2018. "As first-generation college students, many of them don't have access to that kind of guidance from their own families, so we try to provide a kind of 'home away from home' so they can continue to grow, both personally and academically."The summer after their junior year, the scholars earn a $4,200 stipend — $1,400 of which goes toward room and board — to pursue their original research under faculty mentorship. Among the current crop of McNair scholars, the research projects focus on everything from political science and musical performance, to electrical engineering and organic chemistry.Participants present their findings at SOURCE and at academic conferences during their senior year, and many see their work published in academic peer-reviewed journals. An added benefit is that the students often parlay their experiences into professional opportunities at higher education institutions, with some — like Dickerson and English instructor Xavier Cavazos — returning to work at their alma mater. These CWU alumni embody the purpose of the McNair Program, which is to diversify the professoriate.What's more, everyone who gets involved with the McNair Program seems to emerge with a newfound confidence and limitless potential."The research you do with McNair helps you successfully navigate and produce a research paper that you can use for your grad school admissions packet," said Cavazos, who graduated from CWU in 2010 and joined the faculty in 2014. "Without McNair, a lot of first-generation college students wouldn't have the analytical approach they need to research a specific subject. This program puts them on a level playing field with others who are pursuing fields of graduate study, so the experience they gain is invaluable."

Map steps
The Gloop map step is used to set variable values and to declare new variables. There are two ways to set a variable in a map step:
- A map line
- A set expression
When a map step is chosen in the Gloop service editor, the Mapper view in Martini will show all of the available input and output variables. This is where you declare and map variable values and add set expressions.
Map lines
To map a variable, or in other words, assign the value of a variable to the value of another, simply drag and drop a variable to another as shown below:
The line in the GIF above is the same as the following code:
person.lastName = lastName
To delete a line, first click on the line to highlight it, then press or right click on the line and select Delete.
Set expressions
If the value of a variable is to be hardcoded, or requires some more advanced logic in order to set its value (such as performing lookups, or some sort of transformation, etc.), you can use a set expression instead of a map line.
When adding a set expression, you have the option whether to have Gloop evaluate it or not. When Gloop doesn't evaluate the set expression, then the expression itself is used as the value of the variable. When Evaluate is checked, then Gloop assumes the set expression is a Groovy snippet, which gets compiled and executed at runtime. The output of the Groovy snippet is used as the value of the variable.
Set step guidelines
Since evaluated set expressions are written in Groovy, you can (in theory) write dozens of lines of code in a set expression; however it's bad practice to do so. Instead, you should use a Gloovy step or write a reuseable Groovy class.
To add a set expression to a variable, you can:
- right click on a variable in the output half of the Mapper view, and then select Add Set Expression;
- double click a variable from the Mapper view;
- select the variable and then press ; or
- use content-assist while focused on the variable
Here's how to add an expression via a double click:
The (Groovy DSL) set expression provided in the demonstration above is the same as the following code:
1 2 3 4 5 6
employees = [ new Employee(firstName: 'James', lastName: 'Smith'), new Employee(firstName: 'Thomas', lastName: 'Miller'), new Employee(firstName: 'Sarah', lastName: 'Clark'), new Employee(firstName: 'Elizabeth', lastName: 'Taylor') ]
The Set Expression dialog has the available Gloop properties in a tree on the right hand side. If you double click on a variable in the tree while editing your expression, the Groovy code for accessing the variable is inserted into the set expression at the location of the cursor. Focus is kept on the script editor even when double clicking so the code can continue to be edited without having to manually put focus back on the editor.
To delete a set expression, right click on the variable and choose Delete Set Expression, or highlight the variable, and press .
Accessing the entire Gloop variable context
Set steps also have variable called
$context included, which is actually a Gloop model that
contains all of the variables that you see in the Mapper!
Inserting Groovy expressions on the fly
If you wish to insert a property path and surround the path with
${ and
}, hold down whilst
double clicking. The result of doing this is shown below:
Map line and set expression priority
You may have noticed in the screenshots above that the Set Expression dialog has a Priority field. This field is used to determine the order in which the map lines and set expressions are executed. This allows you to map the same fields more than once in the same step. Take the following map step for example:
If all the lines in this example had the same priority, then there will be no guarantee on the order in which the lines were executed. Thankfully with the priority feature you can safely determine the order.
Map steps execute map lines and set expressions which have the lowest priority number first. This means that if the lines were configured like so:
Then it would be the same as the following Java code:
1 2 3 4
b = a; c = b: d = c; a = d;
Priorities for map lines can be configured by clicking on the line itself (in the Mapper area in the middle) until it
is highlighted, then changing the value of the
Priority field in the Properties view.
Errors in set expressions
If your set expression throws an exception (regardless whether it was from a syntax error or not), Gloop will
produce a standard Gloop stacktrace, but with an extra suffix telling you the line number where the error occurred in
your set expression, and which set expression it was. For example, given the error below, the set expression at
message threw an exception at line 6:
1 2
io.toro.gloop.exception.GloopException: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: name for class: NaughtyExpression_Set(NaughtyExpression_gloop_3)_message_ at NaughtyExpression.Set(NaughtyExpression.gloop:3)[message]:6]
The second line in the stacktrace tells us the name of the Gloop service that threw the error, which step, and which specific line number.
at <Name of service>.Set(<Name of service>.gloop:<Line number of set step>)[<Name of variable>]:<Line number which threw the exception>]
Here is a screenshot showing the set step:
Errors in set expressions
Exceptions are thrown at runtime if your set step has a syntax error. Like any other exception, they will be
caught by any parent block step with a
Declaring variables
Gloop lets you declare variables in a map step. Similar to Java, variables have a concept of scope, meaning that if you declare a variable in a nested block step, then its parents will not see the declared variable. In Martini, there are four ways in which you can declare a variable:
- The context menu of the Mapper view's Output side
- Hotkeys (e.g. will declare a new string);
- Pressing the full-stop key, which will bring up the content-assist feature (unsupported by Martini Online)
- Dragging and dropping a model from the Navigator view to the Mapper view
For example:
Unloading variables
Gloop also lets you remove declared variables once you're finished with them. This feature is useful in helping keep the Mapper view in Martini nice and clean, and also makes Gloop code easier to read. When a variable is unloaded, it will not show in the Mapper for any steps after the step that has unloaded it. To unload a declared variable, right click on it, then select Unload Property, or press .
Rules for declaring and unloading variables
Gloop lets you declare and unload variables in map and invoke steps only.

Hello there!
We'd like to welcome you to Free Athlone weekly classes which take place at MONKSLAND COMMUNITY CENTER (OLD TUAM ROAD, MONKSLAND, ATHLONE) on Friday evenings from 7:00 pm until 8.00 pm.
Tel (Contact) :[masked]
PS: Ample Free Parking available at the venue
All across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. Meanwhile, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and infinitely renewable. It's called inner kundalini energy. And everyone already has it — everyone!. It is often likened to an inner feminine or motherly energy which automatically knows about us and what is needed to help us restore balance and harmony within our subtle being. It works spontaneously, effortlessly, organically and cannot be paid for.
Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a simple time-honoured technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become better balanced and better connected to yourself — emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. If you're having trouble juggling challenges in your life, Sahaja Yoga Meditation might well help you manage stress, master your emotions and find solutions to your problems. You may enjoy better health, better focus, and a deeper understanding of the universe and your place in it.
Meditation is not just for mystics and monks. Sahaja Yoga meditation is for everyone. Anyone can do it. It's that easy. But with the Sahaja Yoga experience, you'll be much more than just feeling peaceful and relaxed. Sahaja Yoga Meditation has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your own way. Our volunteer experts are always available to help.
Ready to plug into your inner energy? A Sahaja Yoga Meditation class is a great way to start. A few minutes of your life may be all it takes to connect to your inner energy and light the path to lifelong transformation. Sahaja Yoga is more than a temporary solution or a quick relief — it is a journey, rather than a destination. It's all about energy — guaranteed pure and carbon neutral. You can never have too much of it.
The best part? All classes are free. No strings, no catches. Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend, bring your self — all are welcome!
10 Reasons to try-out Sahaja Yoga Meditation
1. It's easy.
You don't have to spend years living in the mountains to achieve enlightenment. You don't have to give up anything or spend weeks in silence. You don't have to learn mantras or wear special clothes or even try to clear your mind. The meditation simply happens spontaneously. The classes are easy and fun, and as long as you keep up your daily ten minutes of meditation you find you are able to achieve a deep and peaceful meditation on a regular basis. With Sahaja yoga we generally sit on Chairs to achieve Yoga (state of meditation) , effortlessly and spontaneously. As such no exercises are required, no mat or special clothing.
2. It's free.
You don't pay for your meditation. There are no catches, and there are no hidden expenses. If you missed attending classes one week, it doesn't matter. You just pick up from the classes again when you can manage it. It is simply the generosity of spirit of other Sahaja Yoga meditation practitioners that allows Sahaja Yoga to be taught to whomever desires it, at no cost.
3. You can see results.
You feel relaxed and you feel a deep sense of calm. Now you can also feel your chakras (energy centers) and through the meditation techniques learnt along the way you can understand the vibrations of your own energy centers. If you feel unwell you meditate and use the techniques you've learnt to heal your chakras, and you can then feel the centers clearing, and as a consequence your health improves.
4. It's all-inclusive.
All the major religions and their core teachings are acknowledged and respected in Sahaja Yoga. No one's spiritual journey is right or wrong. And through meditation the wisdom of all the great gurus and saints is easily revealed and understood. In fact, you'll find that since you've been meditating you'll come to understand and appreciate the teachings of great teachers such as Lao Tse, Christ, Buddha and Mohammed.
5. You're your own boss.
You meditate and introspect at your own pace. You don't have to keep up with others, or feel pressured into doing things you're not comfortable with. You are your own teacher, your own guru, your own master. This technique of meditation empowers you and enables you to help yourself. You don't have to rely on anybody else. Of course, there are many people who practice Sahaja Yoga Meditation who can teach you a great deal about the yoga & meditation and its various techniques. However, all that you need is ultimately within you.
6. It's everywhere.
Sahaja Yoga is practiced in almost every country in the world. So, no matter where you travel you can always locate a local Sahaja Yoga Meditation programme that you can attend. Whenever you get the chance, and no matter where you are, You try to link up with other Sahaja Yoga practitioners and enjoy a collective meditation. (Meditating with others is a much deeper and more powerful experience than meditating alone.)
7. It's portable.
You don't need to take anything with you to meditate: no mats, no potions, no special clothing or books. You can meditate anywhere – in a quiet room or on a noisy bus; at the beach or watching a movie. Thoughtless awareness (the state of meditation) is easy to achieve if you keep meditating daily, and it can be achieved in almost any situation.
8. It makes sense.
Everything you'll learn will make sense. There is a lot of common sense in Sahaja Yoga meditation, and even though not everything was known to you (for example, the chakras and their respective qualities), once you have a chance to learn more about the meditation, it feels very natural and comfortable.
9. Everybody does it.
When you begin a hobby or join a new group, you often find that there are particular types of people who are in the group with you. For example, some groups attract younger people, others older folk; some groups have a lot of people who are wealthy, or people who live in a certain part of town. In Sahaja Yoga you will find people from every walk of life, from every demographic – male and female, young and old, rich and poor, every shape, size and colour, with varying interests, languages and beliefs. You don't have to be a certain type of person to do Sahaja Yoga meditation. It is one of those rarities: something for everybody.
10. You feel good.
Without fail, every time you sit down to meditate you feel better. Whether you manage to have a deep meditation or not makes no difference, and as a consequence your family and friends are reaping the benefits!
So there you have it......ten reasons......
Pop along to a FREE Sahaja Yoga Meditation weekly Meeting!

Waitress is a fresh new Broadway musical with music and book by Sara Barellis. The story revolves around the lives of three waitresses, Jenna, Becky, and Dawn, but focuses on Jenna. Jenna is struggling in an abusive marriage and is faced with an unexpected pregnancy. She uses her talented baking skills as an escape from her home life. Her pies are inspired by her current day to day life, and she uses them as a way of sharing her experiences with others. For example, after hearing the news of her pregnancy, Jenna names the pie special "betrayed by my eggs pie," which consisted of ingredients that remind her of her husband and the pregnancy that she does not want. After she finds out that she is pregnant, Jenna pays a visit to her obstetrician, Dr. Pomater, and despite themselves, they develop a strong connection which blossoms into a love affair. To find out more, see the show.
Waitress has everything you could ask for in a show. This beautiful musical is heartwarming, funny, and conveys a strong message about independence and what feminism really means. Waitress, being the first Broadway show to have an all female creative team, connects to the female empowerment topics of the story. The musical shows that having the all female creative team impacts the direction, emotion, and realism of the actresses' portrayal of their roles.
We highly recommend going to see Waitress before it closes on January 5th. You will not regret it. You may purchase tickets by going to the sites of ticketmaster.com, today tix, tkts, or going to the box office. I recommend going to the box office the day of and getting something called rush tickets for $40: you'll have a good chance of being seated in a great spot, for a fairly low price. Follow the show on instagram @waitressmusical or visit the website at www.waitressthemusical.com! Waitress truly is a musical baked from the heart!
