Meditation for the Corporate World

Meditation is one of the greatest stress busters. Corporate employees all over the world are suffering from extreme stress today due to the constantly changing nature of their jobs and tight deadlines. People are losing control over their lives due to the craze for money and power. In these turbulent times,meditation is the only activity that can give us peace and take us to that inner centre from where we emerge refreshed and energetic to face the travails of life.

Meditation is a must for the Corporate World and we are fortunate in having realized Gurus in India like our revered Anandmurti Gurumaa who has made it her life’s aim to teach meditation to the troubled souls and bring them on the right path towards God-realisation. Along with a few subtle yoga exercises and pranayams, Gurumaa’s unique methods of guided meditation have been successfully adopted by individuals as well as employees of Corporates to lead a more fulfilling life.

Gurumaa has devised a special workshop for businessmen, industrialists and bureaucrats hard pressed for time and living a stressful life. This two day workshop aims for change in lifestyle, making it stress-free, happy and comfortable. It also helps in physical ailments and introduces the aspirant to the spiritual path, which fulfils a void in his or her life. The purpose of the workshop is to bring awareness about the correct methods and use of meditation to make the benefits and the change in behaviour of the aspirants long-term or permanent.

The aspirants are taught how to know their minds, clean their minds and declutter their minds of the non-stop chatter. The mind is emptied of all thoughts for a while, which ultimately leads to purging of negative thoughts and establishing of positive thoughts.

Gurumaa’s Pranav Meditation which blends Bhramari Pranayam and the chanting of ‘Om’ against the backdrop of soothing music, brings deep relaxation and a feeling of lightness in the mind. This rejuvenates the participants both physically and mentally and restores equilibrium in their lives. They are able to do more quality work within the schedules given to them and achieve the desired results.

Nishkriya Meditation and Yog Nidra allow the participants to experience conscious and aware sleep, at the same time being aware of various parts of their body. This ultimately leads to thoughtlessness and deep relaxation. It enables the mind to get connected with the subconscious. These are very relaxing meditation techniques.

Gurumaa’s Sakriya meditation enables the meditator to get rid of all frustrations, pent-up anger, aggression and conflict related problems. It uses a unique blend of pranayams to bring thoughtlessness and empty the mind of its incessant chatter and thoughts very quickly. The meditator feels very light and invigorated after doing this activity. He may slip into meditation or just rest in this new-found joy of cleansing of the senses.

All the above guided meditation methods have proved very beneficial, both mentally and physically, by aspirants who have been practising regularly, individually as well as in groups and have been declared by them as the ultimate panacea for their ills.
