There are seven instructional techniques used to elicit human values. They are:

1. Silent Sitting,

2. Quotes and affirmations,

3. Story-telling,

4. Group singing and music,

5. Group activity (such as role play, discussion, simulations and case studies),

6. Mind Mapping, and

7. Guided Visualization.

These techniques provide the external stimuli through the senses for the purpose of improving understanding and creating awareness. The use of any of the above techniques as an adjunct to any lesson as an implementation tool enhances the quality of the lesson as each of the above techniques help to promote understanding and awareness in the conscious mind. More information on these techniques is available  here.

SSEHV also places great emphasis on self-discipline and selfless service to the community as means to self-transformation. The adage, “Help Ever, Hurt Never,” is fundamental. Recognition of the inherent similarities in all human beings leads to the attitude that one is serving himself or herself when an act of service is performed.
