Abstract

Yoga has been used for millennia as a tool for achieving mental health. Recent research has also shown significant benefits one motional instability, social maladjustment, personality disintegration, lack of independence and total emotional maturity after two months of yogapreksha meditation in college going girls. A prospective study was conducted in 100 college going girls with the age range between 17-19 years. The samples were randomized into experimental and non-experimental group (n=50) each; (experimental group average age ± S.D., 18.22 ± 0.86 years), (non-experimental group average age ± S.D., 18.30 ± 0.76 years). Emotional maturity was measured using an Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS) constructed by Dr. Yashvir Singh & Dr. Mahesh Bhargava. Experimental group practiced yoga-preksha meditation for 50 minutes for six days in a week for two months and non-experimental group participants were performing their routine activities. Experimental group and non-experimental groups were analyzed using the within group paired t-test and between group unpaired t-test. There was one within-subject factor i.e., pre and post and one between-subject factor i.e., post and post for the statistical analysis. Following yoga-preksha meditation there was a significant decrease in the scores of emotion maturity (emotional unstability; p<0.001, social maladjustment; p<0.001, personality disintegration; p<0.01, lack of independence; p<0.05 and total emotional maturity; p<0.001).Emotional experimental group. No changes were seen in non-experimental group. It can be concluded that yoga-preksha meditation can reduce the problems of imbalance emotional quanta in the daily life of the college going girls.
