Bhopal ( Madhya Pradesh ) : Meditate, it will free you from all ills, say experts on World Meditation Day.
The Covid pandemic has claimed not only human lives but also mental wellbeing of people. It has given rise to anxiety, depression, stress, fear, insomnia and negativity etc. And these are leading to physical problems like high blood pressure, higher blood glucose levels.
On World Meditation Day, which is observed on May 21, Free Press asked experts how meditation can help people to cope with the situation. They said meditation is an invaluable means to deal with mental and physical problems resulting from second wave of Covid pandemic. It is a medicine, which is free. And it is very easy to do, they added.
BK Neeta , Director, Brahma Kumaris, Sukh Shanti Bhavan, Neelbad, Bhopal said that “Meditation boosts will power. It frees you from fear. It keeps negativity away. It strengthens your immune system. It makes you feel happy. It is relevant and useful in Covid times, especially for people who are in home quarantine or home isolation. Meditation does not change the situation. It only changes the way you look at the situation. It prepares you mentally to deal with the situation. It teaches you how to survive, how to fight against odds. Meditation is about self-realisation. It is a free medicine.
And it has nothing to do with your religion. Whether you are a Hindu or a Muslim or a Christian, you can meditate and it will help you. We have been running online courses of seven-day duration for past one year to teach people how to meditate. Each batch has 150-200 participants.
We have conducted more than 100 courses so far and thousands of people in India and abroad have benefited from them. The course is “free of cost.”
