Remember this, and let no problem, no matter how great it may seem, discourage you, nor let anything less than the mountaintop distract you. This is the one thought I want to leave you with.” Alfonso Ortiz (Tewa) 1973 Rationale for Life Effectiveness: The attitude and energy we send out and receive greatly impact our life effectiveness. In Search of Your Image, Jill Keiser Hassler quotes Samuel Cypert, director of communications at Masco Corporation, a Fortune 500 Manufacturer and author of Believe and Achieve, “If you expect success, you will succeed. If you expect failure, you’ll fail. It’s as simple as that” (p.163) Attitude is your innermost point of view towards yourself and the world. The dictionary defines attitude as, “a manner of acting, feeling or thinking that show in ones disposition.” Cypert continues, “Negative thinking is a learned habit. We can condition our minds to think positively by replacing negative thought with positives ones--hour by hour, day by day” (p.164). A positive attitude “requires analyzing your circumstances, minimizing the risk and maximizing the advantages…then approaching the situation with the belief that you will succeed.” Denis Waitly in Empires of the Mind discusses the meaning of self-fulfilling prophecy. He says that an idea may be neither true nor false, but it is likely to become true if it is believed. Waitly adds that thoughts and images have a measurable physical reaction and states, “What the mind harbors the body manifests in some way” (p.) According to Carla Hannaford Ph.D. in her book, Awakening the Child Heart, “all matter is energy existing as vibration; therefore, we as humans are, in essence, vibration existing in a sea of vibration”(p.). At all times we are either in a state of incoherence or coherence. The author says that coherence “applies to a conscious pleasure state of being in alignment with our purpose, joy, happiness and connection to others” (p.3). We feel coherence when we are connected to others and ourselves in a harmonious environment or when we are fully engaged in joyful tasks. Vibrational patterns are either coherent or incoherent, and researchers have been able to use electromagnetic field readings of the heart to document the effects of coherence and incoherence on participants’ bodies. Our attitudes and energy affect our life effectiveness. Understandings Desired: Students will be able to understand that: Our attitude totally affects our thoughts, feelings, and outcomes. Humans emit coherent and incoherent energy. Equine Activity: Observe and experience horse energy fields and their reaction to coherent and incoherent energy. While the students are learning through demonstrations, they are to be silent and record their reflections and analyses of their observations. Established Academic Standards: Skills for a Healthy Life C. A student should understand how well-being is affected by relationships with others. Developmental ASSETS: Asset 30: Responsibility. Asset 37: Personal power. Social and Emotional Learning Standards: 1. Self –Awareness Essential Questions Considered: Is it possible to succeed if you believe you cannot? Are you likely to fail if you believe you will? Does confidence affect outcomes? Are confidence and attitude related? Can vibrational energy be changed? Does all matter have vibrational energy? Suggested Vocabulary Words: Attitude, energy, failure, success, confidence, belief Key Knowledge and Skills Students will Acquire: Students will be able to: critique the effects of attitude on the outcomes of situations perceive the results of coherent and incoherent energy. Assessment Evidence: Students will be able to write or act out actual or imagined scenarios in which people figure out that their attitudes and vibrational energy are helping instead of hindering them. Materials Needed: Notebook/pencil Round pen Computer Dr. Emoto videos Dr. Emoto books Dr. Carla Hannaford’s books- muscle testing Tibetan singing bowl Activities: Students will: 1. Check-in-- Qigong activity and state one or two emotions depicting their current feelings. 2. Observe and participate in experiencing a horse’s energy field and note the equine’s reactions to coherent and incoherent energy. While the students are learning through demonstrations, they are to be silent and record their findings. 3. Circle-Up-- share some of their discoveries about energy fields and coherent and incoherent energy. 4. Read data about the relationship between attitude and success and Carla Hannaford’s compilation of findings regarding coherent and incoherent energy. 5. View Dr. Masaru Emoto’s slides showing vivid photographs of ice crystals. Listen to information about how Emoto’s pictures show that when water was exposed to feelings of love or thanks, the crystals that developed were beautiful geometric figures, but when water was exposed to the feeling of anger and violence, the crystals formed were very unattractive and lacked luster and vividness 6. Write or act out actual or imagined scenarios in which individuals figure out that their attitudes and energy are helping instead of hindering their life success. 7. Circle Up-- experience vibrations from a Tibetan Bowl and then share a current feeling or thought.
