Palmistry is believed to be the art and science of self-discovery. The lines in our palms give us a lot of information about ourselves and various things that affect our life. We can use this information to help us shape our future in a constructive way, making positive choices regarding our work, our dealings with people around us, and many other important aspects of life. Shri SL Sharma, Astrologer and Palmist, who has been reading palms for over 50 years now and came all the way from Jodhpur to conduct a half-day workshop which left the participants wanting more….. The term "hypnosis" comes from the Greek word hypnos, meaning "sleep." Hypnotherapists use exercises that bring about deep relaxation and a heightened state of consciousness. But this does not mean that a hypnotist can control the person's mind and free will. On the contrary, hypnosis can actually teach people how to master their own states of awareness. |

Mr BD Sharma, Additional DG Correctional Homes, West Bengal and Danseuse Alokananda Roy, are the authors of one such rare yet amazing success story. The progrramme began with the screening of a short documentary, which told the story of how the inmates of Presidency Correctional Home, Kolkata, – some hardcore criminals – were trained in Tagore’s dance drama Valmiki Pratibha The experience touched the lives all those who were involved. |

LSG members were very moved by this inspiring tale and enthusiastically participated in the discussion following the film, when Alokananda Roy and Nigel Akara aka Vicky – an inmate who has now been released -- spoke about their individual experiences. It was a lively, candid and interesting interaction on crime, punishment and the dance therapy experience. The speakers’ honest opinion and perspectives on the various issues raised were very much appreciated. |
