6. 'Anupreksha' (Contemplation & Auto-suggestion)
Through the practice of 'Anupreksha' an effort is made to inculcate Values in students' behaviour. It seeks to generate in the individual a deeprooted awareness of social, moral and spiritual values which are the distinguishing traits of a human being, when compared with an animal. The technique used in the training is called 'Anupreksha' (A process of contemplation and auto-suggestion) involving practice of concentration on psychic centres to control and regulate the breathing process to imbibe important values of life like sense of duty, truthfulness, fearlessness, patience, patriorism, honesty, freedom from envy, jealousy, and other negative traits. This may be described as therapautic thinking through autosuggestion for imbibing values through concentrated repetition of autosuggestion for reaching the subconscious mind.
Through the medium of 'Anupreksha' and perception, an attempt is made to sow the seeds of positive values and right conduct amongst children. Continuous and sustained practice over a long period of time can be instrumental in giving birth to the following positive qualities:
Devotion to duty Self reliance-Self confidence Truthfulness Equanimity Co-existence-Co operation Secularism and Nationalism Patience Stability and balance of mind Honesty Freedom from greed and fear Self Discipline Feeling of friendship Will power and determination
