If U don’t want to be ill … Speak
After we Learn to Speak * Its a joy to see a
child grow ... When it turns over, crawls, holds on to
something and stand..
• As parents we want the child to
reach its mile stones quickly. • When the child says those first
Words ... Mama ... Dada
• After it begins to speak we often ask it to stop
talking
As adults we speak about ...Shoes
Cars
Our Children
Weather
Career
Often we DO NOT Speak things that matter ...

Emotions ... Feelings

making things look good

achievements, desires n
dreams ... Many times the
mundane things

down.

Repressed feelings – emotions have two major reactions – • Illness and
outburst.
• A person who bottles his feelings when
released it is damaging.

directions.• Sometimes this
release seeks physical hurt ... Acts of crimes
are committed. • Example - In Indian
army we read quite regularly about soldiers

before Him my trouble.”
“He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, even to His ears.”

feel worse after talking to your friend coz the

that when plants are
watered they lean towards
humans• They touch
the caretakers• Talk, Laugh, Cry to a Tree they can nest
your sorrows and give
wings to your desires.
Uncle’s Papaya tree
• We lived in an campus – 62 houses in it
• In each of our garden there were fruit trees and
flower beds. • But my uncle who lived
on campus claimed that his papaya tree bears the biggest and sweetest
fruits. • To me that’s NOT possible – all gardens had a papaya
tree from the same seedbed.
• When I ate the fruit from his garden it was better
than those from our garden.
• What was the secret – He spoke to the trees &
flowers beds as he watered them.
Take TIME to Speak • Go out of the
house /office• Find a calm place –
a place that brings fond memories
• Avoid a new place to reduce anxiety and
for safety. • Write your thoughts
– feelings • You could use a notebook, laptop,
mobile phone, etc. • As you write speak out your thoughts –
feelings aloud. • This is how most autobiographies are
written. •
As you write speak aloud. As you leave - Leave behind your problem. Nature has better
mechanism to cope with problems.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Math. 11 : 28
