    The Benin Empire, one of the most powerful and influential kingdoms in West Africa, flourished for over 1,000 years. Its capital, Benin City, located in present-day southern Nigeria, was an epicenter of art, culture, and political power. The empire’s historical significance extends beyond its impressive architectural feats, remarkable artistry, and military prowess, as it was also a hub of trade and diplomacy. 
    The origins of the Benin Empire can be traced back to the early 11th century, with a history deeply intertwined with the Kingdom of Ife, from which the Benin people are believed to have descended. The development of the kingdom was largely shaped by its early rulers, the Obas, whose leadership and vision helped lay the foundation for the Benin Empire. The Benin monarchy, a vital institution in the kingdom, solidified the rule of the Obas and their divine connection to the people. 
    At its peak, the Benin Empire extended its influence over a vast region in West Africa, establishing a complex political and social structure. The monarchy not only commanded political and military power but also served as a central force in religious and cultural life. The empire was renowned for its rich heritage in art, including the world-famous Benin Bronzes, which showcased the advanced craftsmanship and symbolic significance of Benin artisans. These bronzes, intricate sculptures, and plaques, which depicted scenes of royalty, warriors, and historical events, remain symbols of the empire’s grandeur.

    This books deals with reprogramming of mind first by understanding how does human mind work. How it generate thoughts, and how are negative thoughts generated. The author chanced upon this process and methodology while being on a spiritual exploration since 2015. He travelled to the Himalayas met some great Yogis and discovered some places with great vibrations. He experienced many out of time and space experiences, which also graced him with a steady state of calmness in his mind. Almost a state where negative thoughts cease to flow. Mind tamed finally, he analysed the whole journey and found how he got processed through this and reached a state of calmness. He started teaching meditation in Europe since 2018 in few countries till 2020, when he had to return to India. He made some videos on YouTube and his channel took off in May 2020, and now there are 24k subscribers and 4.2 Million views till date. 67 videos in all. Finally it was time to document the entire method ot philosophy through a book. I hope this book will eventually open you up and lead to your transformation if practised sincerely with consistency.

    Relate then Educate - The Untold...

    Compiled by two former educators, Relate, Then Educate contains the firsthand stories of sixteen seasoned educators' professional hurdles and personal moments of heartbreak and joy.  To be an educator is to be thrown into the classroom without much practical training. Young teachers can languish for years without knowing if they're "doing it right," and, despite the wealth of tactical curriculum resources available, the intangible needs of educators often go overlooked and unmet. Former educators Rick Holmes and Andrea Avey understand this perspective well; they collected the stories within Relate, Then Educate for teachers seeking experienced insight and support as they decide the trajectory of their career.  This unbiased collection of candid and approachable experiences are written to challenge, inspire, correct, and console teachers—and humans—who need direction. It features stories of unthinkable tragedy, like the tragic death of a student midyear, and rich rewards, like lifelong friendships with students. Relate, Then Educate breaks down each teacher's story into three segments: their path into education, a defining moment in their career, and an instructional best practice.
