Why Stress Management ?

The processof stress management is one of the keys to a happy and successful life in modern society. Although life provides numerous demands that can prove difficult to handle, stress management provides a number of ways to manage anxiety and maintain overall well-being.
What is connection between management & meditation?

Meditation is a simple, everyday technique that relaxes the mind, body and soul, and eventually leads to better management of life across several aspects:

Time Management: Often, without even realizing, a lot of our time is lost because our mind is oscillating between the past and planning for the future. Meditation brings the mind back to the present moment, which is the field of all action– we cannot act in the past or future, we can only act NOW! So, when the mind is in the present, we can do much more in the same time span!

Work Management: A few minutes of meditation helps us stay focused and calm. The result: we are able to concentrate better and work efficiently. If a task took six hours earlier, you may now be able to complete it in just three! As a student, studying for exams becomes easier. Our contribution at the workplace becomes more significant. We can see the difference even as a homemaker.

Management as meditation: How you deal with your emotions and thoughts as a leader has a direct effect on employees and organization, and even its bottomline. By meditating, you learn how to deal with stress and take your mind off things. It has to do with discovering consciousness and performing activities, such as meetings or listening, with more attention, functioning less on automatic pilot.

Stress Management: If stress has you anxious, tense and worried, consider trying meditation. Spending even a few minutes in meditation can restore your calm and inner peace. During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. This process results in enhanced physical and emotional well-being.

Health Management: Meditation also might be useful if you have a medical condition, especially one that may be worsened by stress. Meditation isn’t a replacement for traditional medical treatment. But it may be a useful addition to your other treatment.

Pain Management:There are guided meditations that take you through pain relief techniques which make the pain seem less important.

What is EQ to SQ ?

The transformative power of SQ distinguishes it from EQ. EQ allows us to judge the situation we are in and behave appropriately. SQ allows us to ask if we want to be in that situation in the first place. It might motivate us to create a new one.

In their book Spiritual Intelligence—The Ultimate Intelligence, Zohar and Marshall discuss the scientific evidence for SQ. In the 1990s, research by neuropsychologist Michael Persinger andneurologist V.S. Ramachandran at the University of California led to an identification of a ‘God-spot’ in the brain. This area is located among neural connections in the temporal lobes of the brain. During certain scans, these neural areas light up whenever research subjects are exposed to discussion of spiritual topics. While the God-spot does not prove the existence of ‘God’, it does indicate that the brain is programmed to ask ultimate questions.

We use spiritual intelligence to transform ourselves and others, heal relationships, cope with grief, and move beyond conditioned habits of the past. To develop high SQ, each person needs to approach the task according to his/her personality.

What is conscious corporate ?

In the context of the corporation, the adjective “conscious” can be used to modify three main subjects: the corporation itself and society at large, and finally people.Thus corporate consciousness is the relationship between the combined values of individuals (making up the organization) and the world with which it interacts.

Every corporation is a conscious corporation to an extent, but those that optimize that consciousness as much as possible may have an evolutionary advantage. Paying attention to and harnessing corporate consciousness positively will not only increase an enterprise’s performance but also increase the well-being of all individuals involved. It not only fulfills the needs of survival and relationships but builds cohesion, all towards the betterment of society. From “me” to “we”, from “being busy” to “well-being”, from “competition” to “social co-operation” – this transformation is possible if we’re mindful that we each have a role to play and much to gain collaboratively.Cultivating the consciousness of business leaders may be an effective way of increasing the consciousness of corporations.

Is Women Empowerment for feminists ?

Women Empowerment is about femininity and not feminism. Femininity wields great power. When you can love yourself for who you are, all facets of life rooted in you begin to change – partner relationships, family, friends, business associates and even the larger society. As a woman, you begin to live the fine balance of softness and power, courage and fear, little-girl insecurities and wisdom. By going beyond conditioned conflicting thoughts, you experience liberation and yet come back home to your deeper feminine self. Thus, it has nothing to do with feminists, and everything to do with women who want to connect with their inner femininity.

Sleep helps a great deal, but unless you are able to relax, the mind doesn’t really rest. Meditation connects with our different feelings and emotions as a fully conscious process; and not just drifting, day-dreaming or sleeping.
Should I meditate alone or in groups ?
Whether alone or in a group, meditation is very personal – in a group, one feels supported. Others are making an effort and you are less inclined to fidget or get distracted. Yet, it is important to accept personal responsibility for one’s practice, in a group or alone. If you are honest, you will experience the results of your practice.

Because your brain slows down, your heart rate, metabolism and breathing rate slows down and your blood pressure lowers.

Is meditation just another program or conditioning ?
