CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, the Heartfulness organisation launched the ‘Stress-Free Madhya Pradesh’ campaign at Narmada Hospital, Bhopal.
The initiative aims to raise awareness about mental health through meditation and inner balance, and to inspire people to adopt a stress-free, positive and balanced lifestyle.
The programme was inaugurated by Narmada Hospital Director Dr Renu Sharma. Organised by the volunteer team of the Heartfulness organisation with the special initiative and support of hospital manager Vibhanshu Joshi, the programme was completed successfully.
To mark World Mental Health Day, three days of special sessions were held on the hospital premises. During these sessions, hospital employees were introduced to the importance of mental peace, emotional balance, a healthy lifestyle, and positive and harmonious relationships within the family, workplace and society.
Heartfulness volunteers said that in today’s fast-paced lifestyle, challenges such as stress, anxiety and emotional imbalance are increasing. In such circumstances, regular meditation, self-reflection and a positive outlook can help maintain better mental health.
During the programme, participants were given practical experience of Heartfulness relaxation techniques, meditation, mental cleaning and prayer. Through these practices, participants were encouraged to experience peace, ease and emotional stability within themselves.
Employees who took part in the sessions described their experiences as peaceful and positive. On the occasion, emphasis was also laid on viewing mental health not merely as an individual concern but as a collective responsibility of the family, workplace and society.
The message conveyed was that just as regular care is necessary for physical health, it is equally important to set aside time for mental and emotional well-being.
The ‘Stress-Free Madhya Pradesh’ campaign launched by the Heartfulness organisation will be conducted throughout the year in various parts of the state through volunteers. Under the campaign, efforts will be made to make more and more people aware of meditation, relaxation and mental health, while encouraging them to adopt stress management practices and a balanced lifestyle.
This initiative by the Heartfulness organisation is a positive effort towards increasing social awareness about mental health and making meditation a natural part of daily life. The core message of the campaign is that mental peace is not only the basis of personal happiness, but also an important requirement for building healthy families, sensitive workplaces and a harmonious society.
