Abstract
Anxiety is prevalent among college students,
impacting their academic performance and overall well-being. This study
explores the effectiveness of Om meditation in alleviating anxiety among
college students. Om chanting is known for its calming effects on the mind,
potentially reducing stress and anxiety levels. The study involved 30 college
students from various colleges in the Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh,
selected through convenient sampling. The Sinha’s Comprehensive Anxiety Test
(SCAT) developed by A.K. P. Sinha and L.N.K. Sinha was administered to assess
anxiety levels before and after intervention of 6 days training programme of Om
meditation. Pre- and post-intervention SCAT assessments were conducted to
measure any changes in anxiety levels. Results indicate a significant reduction
in anxiety scores post-meditation, demonstrating the effectiveness of Om
meditation in alleviating anxiety among college students (p<0.01). Om
meditation offers various benefits including stress reduction, mindfulness,
cognitive restructuring, relaxation, improved concentration, emotional
well-being, and self-awareness. Incorporating Om meditation into daily practice
can be beneficial for students dealing with severe anxiety.
