THE MORE YOU MEDITATE, THE LESSER THE CHANCE THAT YOU’LL MAKE UNSUITABLE CHOICES
Vedic Meditation techniques have been shown to be more suitable and effective for students. Students of all ages can do it. It can be an effective antidote for the overwhelming stresses of student life. From high school to college, students barely find time to take a breath of fresh air and smell the roses. Particularly College and University students are completely engrossed in campus life – classes, assignments, projects, tests, exams, they are always hard-pressed for time. The intense rhythm of activities can be relentless. So, most of students suffer from stress, anxiety and sleep deprivation. This ‘externalized locus of control’ compromises decision-making ability. As the biologist Robert Sapolsky has illustrated, “If a teacher at a critical point of our education, or a loved one at a critical point of our emotional development, exposes us to his or her own specialized uncontrollable stressors, we may grow up with distorted beliefs about what we cannot learn.” This can have a negative impact on their mental health, physical health, grades, relationships etc.
What happens during Vedic Meditation?
This is similar to Vedic Meditation For Beginners, with the only difference that the ‘seed’ is more attuned to student phase of life. During VM sessions, we explain what to do, instead of stressing on what all not to do. The VM technique helps students overcome stress and reverse the negative effects on the brain. Meditation improves all aspects of our cognitive functioning and engenders a significant amount of cerebral development. The hippocampus, responsible for all of memory formation and recall, grows larger. We have a more active and thicker growing pre-frontal cortex which aids our lateral thinking, problem-solving capabilities, planning, foresight and decision making. There is greater brain wave coherence that is unique to this technique which fosters greater connectivity between all areas of the brain. There is higher beta temporal activation during rest and higher theta orbitofrontal activation. There is consistent improvement in learning functions, such as intellectual performance (problem-solving ability), concentration, reading comprehension, the ability to deal with abstract and complex situations and memory. The mind effortlessly settles to quieter levels of thinking, tapping our inner source of creativity and intelligence at its silent depths. Simultaneously the body gains deep rest and releases accumulated stress and tension. After VM, there is greater calm, focus, concentration, clarity, creativity, emotional stability, that lead to a better decision making.
Easy fit for busy life
VM technique is practiced for just 20 minutes twice a day. It’s easily learned in just 3 to 4 sessions and doesn’t involve concentration or having to clear your mind of thoughts. It is a non-religious meditation that involves no belief or change in lifestyle.
