Presentation...

yesterday (on wednesday)-presentation session...

NERVOUS!!!!
I'm very nervous to make a presentation today because actually i'm lack of confidence to speak english in front of the public......that's maybe one of the reasons why I become quiet passive during the lesson here compare at my secondary school....hmmmmm
but, I relieze that I must try to change it......
Ok...I will try....

Oh ya, about the presentation......everything is about culture..

the first group is about YOGA (indian culture)
I'm interest to know about it especially why "Majlis Fatwa Malaysia" band it as HARAM...
Yoga - refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines orianating in India....
It's also a form of exercise if does not related to hindu's God.....

then, MEDICINE MURDER (african culture)
what's that??
Medicine Murder involves the murder of someone in order to excise body parts for incorporation as ingredients into medicine.

ACUNPUNTURE (chinese culture)...
Its legend : soldier wounded by arrow
Acunpuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points.

SANGOMA (african culture)...
Who is Sangoma??
Sangoma is a healers of Southern Africa from Nguni tribe who are choosen by the 'Badimo'...

The philosophy is based on a belief in ancestral spirits. Both men and women can be called by the ancestors (a consequence of refusing the calling is usually ongoing physical or mental illness), though sangomas are usually female. A trainee sangoma (or twaza) trains under another sangoma, usually for a period of years, usually performing humbling service in the community.

At times in the training, and for the graduation, a ritual sacrifice of an animal is performed (usually a chicken, a goat or a cow). The spilling of this blood is meant to seal the bond between the ancestors and the sangoma.

TAI CHI (chinese culture)...
Both TaiChi & Qigong practice the same philosophy and principles of yin and yang. Yin and Yang are two aspects of one unity or holism, this unity is usually expressed in a diagram known as the Tai Chi Symbol.
The concept of Yin & Yang and its symbol are used in many other disciplines, including Chinese traditional medicine, geomancy and Taoist philosophy. In Chinese medicine for example Yin & Yang harmony is essential for good health, this is a concise but great principle that can manifest in countless situations in health, medicine and the natural world..

that's just a part of the presentation...

I enjoyed our lesson today as I get a lot of knowledge from those culture...
