Chandigarh 02^nd April:- To help the students to improve their concentration in study, RIMT World School held a two day Vipassana Meditation Session-a stress reduction programme, for the students of classes VI to XI. Mr. Sethi, the resource person and a pediatrician from Delhi, conducted the sessions. In his interaction with the students he impressed upon the need to meditate to have a bright future.

Mrs Poonam Katoch, Principal said that students nowadays are under continuous stress with worries about peer pressure, studies, future decisions and competition. Regular practice of meditation is the need of the hour - to reverse these negative experiences and prepare for a bright future. Thus is why we organized the Vipassana Session in the school's premises.

Mr. Sethi conducted two sessions. In the first he talked about what is meditation, why is it required and how should one do it. Anapana, the meditation of in-and-out breathing was taught. In this while focusing on the breath one trains the mind. In order to train and manage one's mind he or she needs to meditate. The second session focused on the oneness of mind and body. They may be different but these influence each other. Breath has direct connection with mind.
