Mrs. Neerja Birla, Founder and Chairperson, Mpower along with Daaji, Guide of Heartfulness, today conversed on the topic ‘The Heart of Mental Well-being.  Mrs. Birla and Daaji shared their thoughts on mental health and discussed ways in which people can alleviate their mental state to a joyful existence. The discussion was aimed as a deep dive into the world of yoga and meditation and discover how mediation and yoga can help people achieve emotional, spiritual, and mental wellness.

 

During the discussion, Daaji spoke about the importance of experience. One should experience the power of a meditation practice before believing in it and adopting it as a process. Daaji also explained that prior to starting the meditation process, one should prepare the field of consciousness and getting rid of the conditioning of the mind. Over the years, our mind has been conditioned with past beliefs, experiences, and biases. These prejudices and biases don’t allow us to get into a state of liberation. During the conversation, Daaji and Mrs. Birla meditated for 15 minutes, Daaji demonstrated the Heartfulness way of giving and receiving Pranahuti. The discussion revolved around various aspects of mental well-being such as dealing with grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

 

Speaking about her own journey into mental wellbeing, Mrs. Birla said, “Mental health is stigmatized in our society. It leads to a loss of expression as one cannot talk freely about their mental health concerns. Meditation and helping others heal through my work have in turn helped me as well. It also allowed me to pursue my own spiritual journey of healing. I am happy that over the last five years, there is a growing awareness among people regarding mental health issues”. 

 

While addressing the questions, Daaji,  Guide of Heartfulness, said, “The root of mental concerns is how one reacts to situations. Everyone carries a baggage from the past that influences our present. Mental stress is triggered by pain within oneself. Family, friends, can help in such situations. Just like physical illnesses, mental ailments can be treated. When we are physically weak, we exercise to strengthen our body. When the mind cannot handle the stress, we can train our mind to become stronger. We can also train the feelings in our heart. When we train both our minds, and hearts, we can achieve a healthy mental state. A healthy mind is not impulsive and allows the heart to decide.”
