Immediate Effect of Energy Alignment and Mantra on Stress Related Pain in Adolescents

Psychiatrists have expressed concern at the emergence of education as a serious source of stress for school-going children - causing high incidence of deaths by suicide. Many adolescents in India are referred to hospital psychiatric units for school-related distress - exhibiting symptoms of depression, high anxiety, frequent school refusal, phobia, physical complaints, irritability, weeping spells, and decreased interest in school work. Previous studies have found significant anxiety, distress, depression, worn outs and severe impact of psychological factors on the performances of dental, engineering and medical student. But students preparing for competitive exams have not been studied yet.

Current study reports the scientific evidence of immediate effect of yoga based techniques combined with music and Vedic chants on adolescents preparing for competitive exams.
