DMS organises a public talk by Sister Shivani

Around 850 people recently attended a public talk ‘Awakening Health, Harmony, and Happiness’ by Sister Shivani, India’s most sought after motivational speaker, at DPS-Modern Indian School (DPS-MIS). P Kumaran, Ambassador of India, was the chief guest at the event.The event was organised by Doha Meditation Space, in association with the Embassy of India, to promote India’s ancient cultural and social heritage and practices to enhance one’s experience of the ‘three Hs’ including health, harmony and happiness.Sister Shivani said that in order to improve our performance at work or at home, we take a pause, reflect and then change. Similarly, we also need to pause, reflect on our thoughts and look for improvement within. This, in simple terms, is meditation. “While situations may not be fully in my control, my thoughts and hence responses and emotions are fully in my control. Thoughts create my reality, thus I need to watch the frequency of my thoughts. I also need to watch the frequency of the words I use. Words including ‘problem’, ‘busy’ and ‘angry’ are low frequency and have to be transformed into words that reflect the outcome that we want, such as ‘I am successful’, ‘I have all the time I need’, and ‘I am peaceful’. This may seem wishful in the beginning, but as I begin using these words, and start believing in them, they will certainly become my reality. This way, I not only will begin the journey towards happiness and harmony but they also impact my health because every thought I create radiates through my body,” she said.P Kumaran in his address commended the talks of Sister Shivani especially how she inspires and guides others to create a positive mind set. Sister Jyoti, Adviser to Doha Meditation Space, encouraged everyone to take the opportunities available to lead a healthy and happy lifestyle through the meditation programmes being offered by DMS.
