Of late, I have started reading books on 'Self Development'. Many a number of books make me feel why ' I have not read the books earlier?'

Two such books are

SUPER SELF by CHARLES J GIVENS
and of course the world famous
THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE by STEPHEN COWAY

Both are superb books. Highly mesmerising.

The general principle behind these self development books are already available in our ancient meditation techniques. In fact I happened to listen to a meditation cassette by Dr Reddy, who was teaching the memory techniques under his own brancd name of Max Excel in Chennai. Dr Reddy was preaching about the 'Bahula Siddhi ' meditation , an interesting relaxation cum visulaisation technique based on Swami Sukhabodananda's teachings. Same principle is being eloborated in the above 2 books as well.

* Relax your body and mind
* Visualise
* Use bothe sides of your brain
* Affirm your acievement
* Feel as though you have attained what you wanted
* Repeat as many times as possible the mantra of re-affirmation,
"Every endeavour, I excel making my life enchanting, blissful and purposeful"

Thanks Dr Reddy, Mr Givens and Mr Coway..
You have enriched my thought processes.
