Vipassana Meditation as an Effective Technique of Stress–Management

Dr. A. K. S. Kushwaha

Abstract :

The present research article is an endeavour to explore empirical supports for Vipassana meditation as an effective technique of stress management.Stress management refers to the wide spectrum of techniques and psychotherapies aimed at controlling a persons levels of stress, especially chronic stress, or distress as advocated by Hans Selye (1936;56), rather than positive stress which he calls eustress. Among several available practical stress management techniques, Vipassana is one of India’s most ancient meditation techniques, which may help an individual to reduce stress, provide positive feelings of being in control of ones life and promote general well–being. Though the review of literatures related to stress management and Vipassana meditation will provide empirical supports for the effectiveness of Vipassana meditation in Stress–management upto some extent, but for the generalization and empirical verification of "Vipassana meditation as an effective technique of stress management”, further studies should also be conducted in Indian context.
