20090515 tuning your mind to improve communication skills 20s - nagarjuna
DESCRIPTION
Before beginning, tuning is necessary; this is true, whether it is a musical instrument, or a much more complicated thing like our mind. Concentration becomes, relatively easy; absorption possibility improves. I would say that tuning helps to ‘live in the present’. Not missing the present is the best way to ensure that a better future is obtained. It’s true that if present is utilized properly, a better future becomes a possibility. This presentation was used to tune the minds of the participants, including that of mine. Thus, tuning the mind helps you to become more conscious, more observant, more comparing, more practicing and more achieving. Just go through this presentation, and hopefully, you will get interested in the real presentation.TRANSCRIPT
