ACTIVITY of the day
This illustrates how we relate things, how thoughts affect one another causing a ripple effect.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
Wooden chips or dominoes.
ACTIVITY:
Arranging wooden chips and seeing the domino effect of all of them falling down when one of the chip is pushed.
PRESENTATION:
Gather the class and discuss how the material relates to the topic. The wooden chips or dominoes are like thoughts, when we stack them up they are all related like the thoughts in our minds. Arrange the chips close together and discuss how when one thought is there, we should only think of that one thought, let it go and then go on to the next thought. Give each child a stack to arrange, and let them trigger the first one and watch them all fall.
VARIATION:
Our ego is affected by every emotion, anger, sadness, over excitement, everything. If we are in bliss we will be in peace and joy. A variation of this activity can be that when ego comes in, each thing is like a trigger that goes on and pushes other chips causing them all to fall.
This activity needs lots of focus, attention and patience.
When we are in the now with clear understanding we can be fulfilled.
