Day by day, competition among students is increasing leading to more and more stress and hence lifestyle problems such as-obesity. Thus, there is a major need for all of us to devote a little time to ourselves. We could do some form of physical exercise along with meditation to calm our nerve cells.

For this purpose, NSS unit of The IIS University called Janki madam to orient its volunteers with basic yoga and meditation. She started with breathing exercises(or pranayamas). We did anilom vilom, kapaal bhati, brahmahari and deep breathing with Om chanting. All the volunteers enthusiastically followed her directions.

This was followed by a short session of meditation. During meditation, she guided us while we closed our eyes to a beautiful journey of our body from tip of the toes to our pony tails. She told us to connect ourselves with the surroundings. This left all the volunteers filled with immense energy and joy. Each and every student felt an unknown peacefulness in their minds and bodies.

Overall, this week's session was a much needed one for all the students who were/are going through their CA tests. Now, they will be able to concentrate more and be more efficient in their work.
