Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Sat nam, I remember an interview with the nobel economist featured in the movie Beautiful Mind. He was schizophrenic. He said that what he did was to stop listening to the voices and listen to what he knew was real. He had to learn to discriminate and use his will power to focus his attention. We all have to train ourselves to listen to our soul channel instead of our story channel. Sat nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Hello, and Sat Nam! I am new to KY, and appreciative to all posters. I am a psychiatrist, and wish to respond to a question about how to handle a student with schizophrenia in class. I think working on calming, strengthening, and staying gentle is the best approach. For most with such a disease, keep in mind a long road to recovery. She sounds bright and trying very hard, and your efforts will do more than you think. Kudos to your efforts! Respectfully...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Thank you to all who addressed my concern about schizophrenia It was especially important to get a psychiatrist's opinion - I feel a bit more capable in providing some tools that she can use to feel better. I really feel that mantras work magic, that there is something both grounding and elevating about them. One suggestion was to look into an Ayurvedic book by David Frawley. I have the book written by him called 'Yoga for your type - An Ayurvedic Approach to Your Asana Practice'. It is very good. There are sets outlined of varous intensities for each dosha. Blessed Be.
