·     MIND :
 
Tell me about your nature?
She didn’t reply. She was quiet, so instead of her, her father replied, “She is very calm and quiet.”

•      Can’t tolerate, if my mother and my aunt compare me with my younger sister.
•      She would do the mistake and I used to get scolding instead of her.
•      Shout on my mother or anyone coming in front of me and after 10-15 min. it goes off.
 
Anger for anyone?
•      Anger  on my P.T. teacher as she knew that I was not supposed to do exercise, but still she forced me to do it.

When do you get tensed?
•      As my memory is weak; I am not able to recall things.

• Remedy Selected : THUJA 30
aversion to mother.
Seeking words when in conversation THUJA is a chief remedy in making mistakes in talking and writing. Delicate body and mind easily hurt. Nearest trifle causes peevishness…
Especially THUJA children are more sensitive to criticism for their incapacity to study. Hence they try to odd roads such as meditation and arts even though they are not good performers!!!!
