Perhaps you have heard of the Solfeggio scale of frequencies. Perhaps they are still fairly new to you.  I was first introduced to this concept by a musician friend of mine who had learned of this ancient six-tone scale through a friend.

The Sun entered the sign of Scorpio on Saturday, October 22, 2016.  Leaving behind the airy social realm of Libra, we now plunge into the dark watery realms of the Unconscious.  As we worked to balance our inner and outer lives in Libra, now we come to the point where we have to let go of what no longer serves us.  This requires that we turn within and look at those emotions which keep us imprisoned in our pasts. 

With thumb and first finger touching, hands resting gently on my knees, palms up, I tried out Chin Mudra for the first time, consciously. With curious awareness I sat on the cold stone floor of the ashram and turned my eye gaze upward toward my forehead center into Shambavi mudra.

Which is a viable option, and one that most people will choose, figuratively speaking.  If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all, right? Walk away. It’s safe. It’s normal.

Talking about the more serious and less generic reasons of children not wanting to attend school…

Sometimes, the reason behind a child not wanting to go to school could be far more serious than we realize. This holds especially true when the child in question is going to great lengths to avoid school, to the point of causing himself emotional or physical stress, trauma and even harm.
