Udupi, Nov 18: To recharge and revitalize individual capacity of students and to motivate and empower them toward better concentration and output in academics, Milagres English Medium School Kallianpur in collaboration with ‘Inner Voice’ Pune organized a two-day workshop called 'Super Student.
Vinaya Malvankar, a Transformation trainer and Mind Power trainer, with 30 years of experience in conducting training programmes for students, parents and educators was the resource person.
The workshop was spaced out well over two days from November 15 to 16 at the school hall.
On the first day, it began with a powerful prayer song– ‘Doors opening, doors closing…’ inviting the students to shun bad habits and negativity and embrace positivity, freshness and new habits. Vinaya stressed on the need to speak to one’s subconscious mind. She elaborated on the presence of a ‘genie’ in each person that listens to the command of the master.
Several exercises were part of the workshop wherein students were taught to speak to their subconscious mind and activate their potentials. She elaborately explained how our thoughts, words, feelings and images affect the working of the mind.
The second day dealt with the seven steps to success, goal setting, visualization and affirmation techniques to attain one’s vision and goals.
The high point of the workshop cherished by most of the students was special meditation exercises to help students be in touch with the ‘alpha state’ of the mind. It is the alpha state that helps to programme the mind to attain what one wishes.
On the whole, it was a mind-activating and self-motivating workshop that helped the students to ‘look within’ to identify and channelize their potentials for better output. People usually do not feel safe to be at home within oneself, one's abilities and shortcomings. It dealt with tools to bring about a positive change in personal life and society.
Vinaya emphasized that the quality of life depends on the choices one makes. The workshop ended with four students expressing their sentiments and take-aways of the workshop. Every student who participated was given a certificate. About 190 students of Class IX and X reaped the benefit of this workshop.
This workshop was organized by the management of Milagres School as part of the special programmes of ruby jubilee year celebrations of the school with a focus on student empowerment.
