Abstract

newline Stress serves as a significant catalyst for a wide range of mental and physical health disorders. There are many reasons associated with stress, long term stress induces neurological and psychosomatic disorders like hypertension, hypothyroidism, diabetes, anxiety and depression which affect the lifestyle of human beings. Consequently, behavioural activity and action gradually change in their surrounding environment and also perceived by others. In general, stressful respiration is relatively different from normal. To release stress and control all the neuropsychological hormones, multiple activities like playing games, watching a movie, listening to songs and music, etc. or intake of medicine/drugs such as (Allopathic /Homeopathic/Ayurvedic) are used. Medicines can provide easy stress evasion, but relief is only temporary. Meditation, on the other hand, introduces favorable alterations at both psychological and physiological levels, effectively mitigating stress. Existing research findings indicate that meditation contributes to the reduction of anxiety and stress while promoting relaxation, heightened focus, enhanced attention, and overall psychological well-being.Thus, yoga and Sudarshan kriya(SK) meditation is a unique and alternate therapy identified by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar by Art of living. It would be a healthy way to get rid of stress in peoples lives.
