Interview with Evgenia Manolidou offers programs for children & adults on ancient Greek language & philosophy www.ellinikiagogi.gr "Several studies by Greek and foreign scientists have indicated that the Ancient Greek language, apart from being a living language, is also a therapeutic one, as it is said to posses the ability to cure many disorders, for example dyslexia." Greek Reporter (May 7, 2014) The scientific results that contribute to the theory of British classicist Professor Eric A. Havelock include observations that , "The ‘Broca’s area’ in the left hemisphere of the human brain, which is linked to speech production, was activated more than usual due to the Greek alphabet, which for the first time had successfully employed vowels for writing." Another published scientific research by the team of Greek psychiatrist Ioannis Tsegos, showed that the measurable indicators of verbal intelligence and deductive thinking were accelerated across a group of 25 non-dyslexic children, who were taught Ancient Greek through accepted methods for two hours per week, between the ages of 8 and 12. In another equal group of children that weren’t taught Ancient Greek, the study revealed that the respective indicators were decelerated. Both groups were taught similar lessons. Australian university researcher Kate Chanock, however, took Tsegos’ study a step further in her work “Help for a dyslexic learner from an unlikely source: the study of Ancient Greek” (2006: Literacy), the Australian researcher describes how she cured an English-speaking person from dyslexia by using Ancient Greek. Humiliation is a powerful feeling. It's a cousin to embarrassment but cuts much deeper. Embarrassment is something we bring upon ourselves that later we can joke about. Humiliation is brought upon by others. It's a loss of dignity and pride...or is it? Watch and find out how a use The ALKISTIS Method to transform humiliation to freedom. Greek Philosophy (Socratic Method, Aristotle & Stoicism) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). With the Socratic method ( described as the foundation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)— the therapist/coach asks a series of focused, open-ended questions that encourage reflection. By surfacing knowledge that was previously outside of our awareness, the technique produces insightful perspectives and helps identify positive actions. “I know you won’t believe me, but the highest form of human excellence is to question oneself and others.” - Socrates CBT is a way of focusing on the cognitive processes that produce feelings. The approach helps by changing people’s behavior and attitudes with a deeper understanding of thoughts, images, beliefs, and attitudes. Attitudes grooved in neural pathways during childhood become automatic thoughts. The thoughts resulting in disruption in daily life are negative thoughts around situations that created them. CBT allows patients to interrupt these thoughts with a deeper understanding of the errors or distortions in the perception of these automatic thoughts. This type of therapy helps patients to correct misinterpretations of the thoughts that have caused disruption in their daily lives.

FREEDOM ....while you sleep. THE 7 BENEFITS of a GUIDED MEDITATION
DID YOU KNOW? Deep relaxation practices of consciously recognizing and controlling our thoughts and dreams, has been around for centuries. Since ancient Greek times, "Morpheus" the Greek god of Dreams was venerated. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and scientist, (384-322 BC) who wrote about this practice in his works, ('On Dreaming' and 'On Sleep and Waking') was the first to note that the images and symbols we see in dream and myth speak directly to our subconscious. Hippocrates, (460-377BC) the Father of modern Medicine, praised induced dreaming & hypnosis for its benefits. DOCTORS RECOMMEND daily practice of a deeply relaxing inner state, to help us manage stress and anxiety. Scientific Studies have proven that in relaxed state, the mind is more than 200% more receptive to suggestions, than in ordinary, conscious state. In addition, when we introduce a 'positive mission statement' during this practice, it can bring on positive powerful changes in our life. Warm Greetings from Athens, Greece!

Today, I'm on a Live Q & A call, where the client wants to know how to overcome procrastination. In fact, her issue is deeper; she doesn't know what she really wants, what her values are, and has no real life purpose or mission, a "BIG WHY"? I help her to discover her truth. As you watch, you can answer the questions for yourself to find your truth, your purpose, your mission". Watch until the very end ! Today we discuss some of the reasons why many people are turning to Stoicism now for inner peace, mental, physical and emotional resilience. Turned to one of the most eminent thinkers and a co-founder of the Modern Stoicism movement, Donald Robertson for the answer: 1. A WESTERN ALTERNATIVE TO 'BUDDHISM' 2. A SECULAR ALTERNATIVE TO CHRISTIANITY 3. A MORE 'DOWN-TO-EARTH' VERSION OF ACADEMIC PHILOSOPHY 4. MORE PHILOSOPHICAL THAN CBT Clear your thoughts & stop lying to yourself with Socratic Method. Discussion w/ Donald Robertson6/11/2020 The oldest, and still the most powerful, teaching tactic for fostering critical thinking is the Socratic Method. Today I invite you to join in my conversation with best-selling author, Donald Robertson, at the idyllic lake of Vouliagmeni on the Athens Riviera. (www.limnivouliagmenis.gr/en) The Socratic method was derived from the Greek philosopher, Socrates. In order to delve into his students’ view, he would ask them questions until any contradictions were exposed. Socrates also used this method of questioning to encourage people to question the things they were told and to look beyond the obvious. Why Use the Socratic Method? There are 3 main reasons the Socratic method is still used today. -It helps develop critical thinking skills. -It gets you ready to think quickly and clearly/ -It forces you to be prepared and attentive.
