Brain Magic™

Brain Magic™ is a relatively new system which demonstrates that change can be brought about FAST; exploding the myth that change is a slow and painful process that takes years.

Brain Magic™ succeeds because it works with the process and structure (form) rather than the content of our problems.  It studies the way the brain works, the processes it undergoes and, based on this, teaches us ways to use these processes in our favour. In other words, it teaches us how to program (or re-program) the brain. We call this Brain Magic™ because quite simply, magic is what it is!

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

Developed by Dr. Albert Ellis PhD, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) works on the principle that our emotions are caused by the way we think.

Faulty or distorted thinking causes emotions that are damaging to the person and lowers their self-esteem. These emotions need not have been experienced in the first place. The ADMI  courses in RET show you how to get rid of distorted thinking and lead a richer, healthier and happier life through new ways of handling problems at work or in your personal life. Further, the course also teaches you how to help others.

Transactional Analysis (TA)

TA is an ingenious development by Dr. Eric Berne MD who popularized his work through bestsellers such as Games People Play. TA is a simplified version of Freud’s Id, Ego and Superego concepts. It believes that we operate out of three different ego states and solutions to our emotional and social interaction problems can be found after analysing the social transactions that we make.

The ADMI courses in TA are designed for those who have no prior knowledge of TA. Coupled with Gestalt Therapy, TA has vast applications in all spheres of life.

Person Centred Therapy - FIAMC Bio-Medical Ethics Centre, Goregaon

Person-Centred Therapy (PCT)

Belonging to the humanistic school, this form of therapy is the brainchild of Dr. Carl Rogers MD. PCT was basically a reaction to the Psychoanalytic Theory of Sigmund Freud.  Rogers believed that a person is the best expert in their own life and is capable of finding their own solutions, provided they are given a sense of worth and are brought up in the special atmosphere created by the therapist. The ADMI course teaches you to master this form of therapy. It is ideal for teachers, doctors and others who are in/wish to get into the helping profession.

What is Gestalt Therapy (GT)

Gestalt Therapy was developed by Dr. Fritz Perls MD, a Viennese psychiatrist who believed that a person could become whole by living in the present, by “losing one’s mind and coming to one’s senses”. He lays much stress on awareness of what is going on in the “here-and-now”. Gestalt Therapy is generally coupled with TA for applications in various areas of life.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is perhaps the most misunderstood phenomenon in psychotherapy and human resource development.

Hypnosis is a very serious and effective form of therapy. It may be remembered that Freud himself worked with hypnosis in the beginning of his career and then realised the tremendous power of the unconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy harnesses the power of the unconscious mind to bring about progressive and generic changes in one’s personal life.

The ADMI courses are based on the work of Milton Erikson who is considered the world’s greatest-ever hypnotherapist.

Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling & Vocational Guidance 

This is a One-Year correspondence course with lessons sent by post / email. There would be 200 hours of contact classes, practicals, demonstrations and practice and 120 hours of internship. The course is meant for those who seriously wish to get into the helping profession. Covers six modules, namely, Person-Centred Therapy; Gestalt therapy; Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy; Transactional analysis; Neuro-Linguistic Programming; and Vocational Guidance & Psychometric Testing.

The Book Is Out

Bill deMello's bio of his brother entitled Anthony deMello SJ, The Happy Wanderer – A Tribute to My Brother, (and edited by Clifford W. DeSilva) was launched on 22nd April 2012 at a small function at St. Peter's Church Complex, Bandra, Mumbai, India.

Instead of the usual method of a ribbon being cut by some prominent person, Bill  chose to have the book 'launched' by Tony deMello himself.

Bill first welcomed the select gathering and thanked all who had labored to make the launch day a success and explained that the book was a tribute to his brother and was written with the view to promoting his books especially among the young. Bill then played a rare, unpublished recording of Tony celebrating Mass on his 50th Birthday. Relevant sections of this recording of Tony speaking and also singing while accompanying himself on the guitar were played. 

Tony's own words explained the meaning of 'Happy Wanderer ' (the song) as a good example of sanyas. We are merely passing through this world so we need the minimum.

That was it. There were none of the usual speeches by 'eminent' persons and so on that accompany such occasions. Simplicity itself.

The book is published by Gujarat Sahitya Prakash, Anand who are the authentic publishers of all of Tony’s books in India (http://www.gspbooks.in/contactus.php).

You may also write to me if you want to avail of a special offer – a copy of the book which will include a free video of the launch (with Tony's entire speech at his 50^th birthday mass). This will be Rs. 240/- ($10), postage and packaging extra. (This offer is valid as long as the stocks with me last.)

Pages: 314,  14 glossy pages of photographs.

Price: Rs. 240/$12. Postage and packaging extra.

Tony's brother, Bill had posted an e-bio of tony some years ago (see http://users.tpg.com.au/adsligol/tony/). Since then he has received myriads of messages urging him to write a comprehensive bio of tony. This he has done at last and it is a work of love.

The book is called 'Anthony deMello SJ, The Happy Wanderer - a Tribute to my Brother.'

Having been associated with the book I can tell you that there are lovely anecdotes, little-known episodes about Tony and a lot on the internal working of the Society of Jesus.

But what is best is the inside look at Tony and what made him tick.
The book will be released on the evening of the 21 st of April 2012 at St. Peter's Church Hall, Bandra. Tony died on 1st June 1987 at Fordham University, New York. This year makes it 25 years since that happened.

Tony may have left this mortal but he lives on through his books and video/audio recordings.

Incidentally, in case you did not know, there is an "anthony demello group" on face book which you can join if you wish.

All the best
Clifford

Here is what Bill deMello has posted on his facebook page:

I am very pleased to announce that the biography on my brother Anthony deMello is now being published by Gujarat Sahitya Prakash who are based in Anand, Gujarat. The book has been written by me and edited by my good friend Clifford DeSilva. Anthony deMello SJ, The Happy Wanderer. A Tribute to my Brother will soon be available from GSP. I wrote this book after numerous requests poured in from all over the world, asking for more information about Tony. For now, part of my mission is accomplished. The next step is to develop a website dedicated to him. Please do contact Gujarat Sahitya Prakash for details and availability of the book. Please write to them: booksgsp@gmail.com or visit their website: www.gspbooks.in My very best to everyone. :) Bill deMello

Book Review: Seek God Everywhere -
Reflections on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

By Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

Seek God Everywhere
Reflections on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
Anthony de Mello
Image/Doubleday 02/10 Paperback $14.00
ISBN: 9780385531764

Anthony de Mello (1931 - 1987) was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counseling in Pune, India. A Jesuit priest in the province of Bombay, he was known throughout the world for his writing and speaking at spiritual conferences. De Mello pioneered a post-denominational Christianity and proclaimed a lyrical mysticism rooted in story and imagination. He is best known for his books Awareness and Sadhana.

This spiritually illuminating paperback is based on a course de Mello gave in 1975 on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. A religious classic, it is divided into four parts and can be used for a four-week retreat. The first week focuses on sin and repentance; the second on the life of Jesus Christ; the third on Christ's passion and death; and the fourth on his resurrection and risen life. Written 450 years ago, the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius are given a fresh interpretation by de Mello.

He begins with a meditation on the importance of silence in drawing closer to God: it enables us to develop a home to ourselves, a place to touch the wellsprings of life inside of us. De Mello believes that falling in love with the Absolute is possible while on the path of adoration. This is the natural outgrowth of the spiritual practice of reverence. Although most believers are still imprisoned in a view of sin as acts, deeds, laws, and obligations, Jesus linked it to a refusal to grow, to love, to take the leap of faith. De Mello addresses the feelings of worthlessness among so many who have taken the traditional concept of sin to heart: "We have to communicate to people their goodness," he writes.

Whether talking about the spiritual senses, the gravity of the heart that rests in God, finding peace, getting rid of inordinate attachments, the challenges of finding out what God wants of us, the difficulties in unselfing the self, and the many spiritual teachings given by Mahatma Gandhi, de Mello opens new doors for us to see more clearly the process of spiritual maturation. As would be expected, this creative Jesuit teacher hits high stride while discussing the meaning of St. Ignatius' admonition to "Seek the presence of the Lord in all things." To feel and to contemplate this presence is the essence of devotion.

The Woman In Your Life

The woman in your life......




Tomorrow you may get a working woman,

you should marry her with these facts as well.

or if you are married, you must appreciate these facts...

Here is a girl,

who is possibly as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements ....

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family, name ..

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen...

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, may be even more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise ...

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this......

Please appreciate "HER"


I hope you will do....

Respect Her.
