Abstract
Present era has brought many mental, physical problems along with many developments for people of all age groups especially children and students. Therefore, all human beings need to develop each and every aspect of life including – the psychological, spiritual and emotional. Now a day’s meditation is one of the most appreciable methods of balance the mind and body connection. In the present time, the focus of educational institutions is to make students academically sound and active. Their focus is more on training students about the ways through which they can learn more and achieve heights of academic success. Although, there is a provision for games and sports, but that is not enough to bring a complete positive change as the students are not being freed from their fears. Educational institutions lay emphasis on mental training of students only through academic activities, quizzes, discussion, etc. But these activities do not help in providing mental peace to students. Meditation is a proven means for silencing the mind, encouraging mindfulness and providing optimum conditions for generative thinking and reflection (Fisher, 2006). Meditation has been shown to be associated with alterations in the brain structure (Cahn & Poslich, 2006) better mental health (Chines & Serretti, 2009), improved attention (Jha Krompinger & Braime, 2007) greater emotional self-regulation (Golden & Gross, 2010), slower cellular? (Jacobs et al., 2011) and better academic performance (Nidich et al. 2011). It helps in improving mental strength, building confidence, releasing negative thoughts and behavior. These aspects build a foundation for a healthy mind which leads to improves academic performance in school.
