जीवन में सकारात्मक सोच का महत्व
आज हम बात करेंगे की हमारे नकारात्मक विचारों को कैसे दूर करें। हमारा चेतन मन जिन बातों में विश्वास रखता है, वे हमारे अवचेतन मन या सबकॉन्शियस माइंड में जाकर बैठ जाती हैं और इसी से हमारी सोच बनती है। हमारी सोच ही हमारा जीवन बनाती है। दिमागी शक्ति को कैसे बढ़ाएं? सफल होने के […]
A Virtual World for Every Learner

Nurturing a love for reading
If you had to pick one past session that stands out to you in the previous year, what would that be and why? What made that class session so special? Online classes came as a surprise and as all educators, I too was engrossed in looking for ways to engage my learners every day. What came […]
Music & Wellness
