An update! A true Raksha Bandhan...

Hello!  I haven't written for many months.  Main reason is because we are back to lockdown and this time very harsh.  The kids haven't been out for 3 months and more.  Schools are closed and no sign of covid numbers decreasing.   I have been so busy with work and online school for the little girl. What happened to Sahaj Kindy?  I would love to continue but because of the uncertainty of covid and her kindergarten had online classes now and she is learning, so we just let it be for now. But lots of Sahaj activities for the kids has been happening, all done during lockdown and feel so much of fun and joy just organising and coordinating.   This year, we had the first virtual Raksha Bandhan for kids and adults.  The vibrations were fantastic just doing it.  So much of joy and love. Being someone who was not brought up celebrating Raksha Bandhan as a child, I was amazed at how beautiful the ceremony was when I was introduced to it when I came to Sahaja Yoga.   Being the eldest in th

Sahaj Homeschool 2021 for 5 years old - Academic

Oops, I forgot a post this Monday.  Here in Malaysia, some of us started going back to office and kids back to school.  I have yet to send my little girl yet as I am still not comfortable with the numbers of Covid cases. Reading Eggs While looking for a good website for academic resources last year, when we were all in locked down and I was feeling exhausted from the so-called online classes done by the kindergarten, I stumbled upon this program called, " Reading Eggs ". This is not a sponsored post and I am not paid by them.   Reading Eggs is an Australian program that focus on reading and Maths.  It is an interactive program that in a website and also an app. What I really love about this program is how my little girl enjoy it so much and has improved immensely from just learning alphabets to reading story books now. This is not a f

Sahaj Homeschool 2021 for 5 years old - Sahaj Knowledge

Disclaimer:  I am not a teacher but just a full-time working mom.  If you would like to use materials from this blog, please do credit it to the authors and this blog.  Thank you! Jai Shri Mataji! As mentioned in the earlier post, we wanted a homeschool method that is balance.  Not too academic based and must have some fun factor and not forgetting Sahaj knowledge. For Sahaj knowledge, I used this book called, "Sahaj Children's Colouring Book" by Sarita Keetley.  You can download the book here  but with permission I think. This book has beautiful illustrations for kids to do colouring, from chakra to chakra.   Recently, there is a Sahaj brother, Rafael Sol who created this book called, "My Journey With The Chakras"   a book with simple explanation on the chakras.  You can also download this book in the link given. As for videos, you can check out Mother's Love website .  These group of yogis from Borotin school have created this website and the contents.  Th

Sahaj Homeschool 2021 for 5 years old - Daily Timetable

Disclaimer: I am not a teacher but just a full-time working mom.  If you would like to use the materials in this blog, please do credit to the authors and this blog.  Thanks! Jai Shri Mataji! I was looking for a suitable timetable for Miss A to start our homeschooling program and found one online that suits us.  I modified it and here it is: 8.00am - Wake up, brush teeth, meditation (2 mins), breakfast 9.00am - Sun time (cycling, walking in the neighbourhood), bath 10.00am - Sahaj Knowledge 10.15am - English 10.30am - Phonics 10.45am - Maths 11.00am - Science 11.15am - Malay 11.30am - Mandarin 11.45am - Music / Art / Dance 12pm - End Everyday, her actual academic session is between 10am to 12pm and every subject gets 15 minutes only.  You can adjust for longer time and modified according to your child.  As Miss A sometimes wakes up at 9am, we cram everything in 1 hour before we start school proper.  If she wakes up earlier, then we will do things leisurely. Every morning after breakfas

Sahaj Homeschool - Start young

Disclaimer:  I am not a teacher but just a full-time working mom.  Every week from 9 Feb 2021, I will be posting about Sahaj Homeschool.  If you would like to copy and paste from this blog, please credit to this blog and the author.  Thank you! Jai Shri Mataji! To us as a Sahaj family, Sahaj has been the building blocks and foundation for our spiritual growth.  Having practise Sahaja Yoga for many years, when we had Miss A, our little girl, we want nothing but Shri Mataji's teachings and guidance for her.  We want her to inculcate Sahaj culture in her.  So, we started her as soon as she was born.  We started oil massaging her every night when she was about 3 months old.   In the earlier years, there was not so much on Sahaj education as it was mostly play and have fun.  When she was 2 years old, I made her a Sahaj Busybook.  You can read the details here .  Though she is still keeping the Sahaj Busybook (though not as beautiful as before), she can now recognise the deities in the b

Sahaj Homeschool - Introduction

Disclaimer:  I am not a teacher but just a full-time working mother.  If you want to share this post, please credit to this blog. Jai Shri Mataji Sahaj parents.  I have decided to post topics about Sahaj homeschool for 5 years old once a week.   How our homeschooling journey started?  I have always desire that my little girl get to attend a Sahaj school.  In fact, I have thought of sending her to ISPS or maybe the Devi School in Canada later.  She is at the age who can attend Borotin school or Cabella school  But due to our tight finances, we are unable to send her to Sahaj schools. In fact, last year we registered her in a local, traditional setup kindergarten nearby with affordable fees.  I am not very keen with the kindergarten because I don't like the style of education where they force the kids to memorize and do as the teacher told and hamper their creativity in their thinking.  But since the vibrations was cooler compared to other Montessori kindergartens, let's trust th

Jai Shri Mataji!

  Hello!  This is the second post in this blog for 2021 and I am not sure if it will be the last for this blog.  This year will be the 15th year since the blog has started.   Content theft Due to content theft (whether due to good deed or not), I have decided to revert most of the posts that are personal back to Draft.  It took me several hours to do that (thanks to Blogger's filter which is not very user-friendly).  I was contemplating whether to make the blog private instead, since not many readers now and who reads a blogs nowadays?  But I thought just leave it open to public but only contains Sahaja Yoga information (might have some personal posts as well as I gave up after some time). I have said many, many times in this blog and to the content thieves themselves.  Please always credit any posts taken from this blog back to the author, i.e me.  Well, I hope my experiences that are being shared worldwide are worth your time.  Because I can see my content now spreading all over,

This post is only for Sahaja Yogis - THE STORY OF NIRMALA

  Jai Shri Mataji!  And hello to all the brothers and sister of the Sahaj world.  I was too busy getting ready for the second lockdown and what not that I have completely forgotten to post about this. Back in August 2020 during the first lockdown, few mommies got together and thought we would like to start a project.  This project is called "The Story of Nirmala".  So, the mommies wrote the script and we got the kids to do the voiceover.  And I would be the producer and director of this video. Everyone did this in their own home, with their own device and send all the recorded voices to me.  I would Google photos online, compile the voiceovers and produced them episode by episode.  All this was done by using only the app VN.  And in-between I inserted another yogini's daughter's illustrations. The project dragged for a few months due to all of us busy with our own thing.  The challenge was to get the kids to record.  The younger ones have to repeat after the adults.
