The administered pain test was simple: A thermal heat source, a computer controlled heating plate, was pressed against the calves of subjects intermittently at varying temperatures. Heat levels began at 43 degrees Celsius and went to a maximum of 53 degrees Celsius depending on each participant’s sensitivity. While quite a few of the meditators tolerated the maximum temperature, all control subjects were well below 53 degrees Celsius. Grant and Rainville noticed a marked difference in how their two test groups reacted to pain testing – Zen meditators had much lower pain sensitivity (even without meditating) compared to non-meditators. During the meditation-like conditions it appeared meditators further reduced their pain partly through slower breathing: 12 breaths per minute versus an average of 15 breaths for non-meditators. “Slower breathing certainly coincided with reduced pain and may influence pain by keeping the body in a
relaxed state. While previous studies have found that the emotional aspects of pain are influenced by meditation, we found that the sensation itself, as well as the emotional response, is different in meditators,” Grant said. The ultimate result was that Zen meditators experienced an 18 per cent reduction in pain intensity.

According to a Psychosomatic Medicine study, Zen meditators have lower pain sensitivity both in and out of a meditative state compared to non-meditators. Along with Pierre Rainville, a professor and researcher at the Université de Montréal, Joshua A. Grant, a doctoral student in the Department of Physiology co-authored the paper. The main aim of the study was to examine whether trained meditators perceived pain differently than non-meditators. “While previous studies have shown that teaching chronic pain patients to meditate is beneficial, very few studies have looked at pain processing in healthy, highly trained meditators. This study was a first step in determining how or why meditation might influence pain perception,” says Grant. To reach the conclusion, the scientists recruited 13 Zen meditators with a minimum of 1,000 hours of practice to undergo a pain test and contrasted their reaction with 13 non-meditators. Subjects included 10 women and 16 men between the ages of 22 to 56.

Instill positive thoughts : Young professionals who are frightened by recession need to realise that it’s time to stay physically and mentally fit. Yoga works on your mind and body and hence increases productivity, increases creativity, makes you have more fun with your life and helps you attain a balance between personal and professional life. If you’ve witnessed a drastic salary cut in your job, you would visibly become a negative person and will remain in that state for a longer period than actually required. But if you resort to yoga, you would feel healthy and your mind will soon recover from that traumatic state. With an induced sense of positivism, you can deal with recession stress by looking upon its brighter side, which can be - that you may get a salary hike soon.

Focus on your breath : According to the Yogis, your breath is the clearest indicator of your mental state. If your breath is fast and unsteady, you can do simple breathing exercises to bring it back to normal. If you are tense and your body is stiff, you can do simple stretches and asanas to relax your body. Short shallow breathing or heavy deep breathing changes body chemistry and produce different fluids flowing in through your body. Some of these cause stress and others have something to do with your wellbeing.  You can practice Bandhas (neuromuscular locks) which balance your hormones and bring your entire system to its optimum level.

Walk through your body : Another yogic technique is  Yoga Nindra  , which is a form of deep relaxation or guided meditation. Until and unless body is completely fit and healthy, you cannot get into meditation. So here, a person’s mind is used to focus on the body. In this meditation process, you keep walking down through whole body. And gradually, you end up entering deep into your sub-conscious, which lets you hold on to your emotions and thoughts in a better way.

Boost your self-confidence : Meditation creates self confidence that lets you face the situation and makes the outlook positive. Reiki, a positive energy in meditation makes one positive in body, mind and spirit. Also the clutter in the minds of those who meditate gets cleared, so they can take the recession as a passing phase. In case you’ve lost your job, try taking this as a time to re-evaluate your career. Is this what you enjoy doing? Do you have a passion for your job? If yes, then you will certainly be able to find another job. Maybe you need to expand your working skills. And if at all you find yourself de-motivated to find another job, maybe you would like to try something different. So, it all depends upon how you let your confidence stand by you.

Practice balancing postures : It’s easy to get caught up in work related problems and ignore your personal life. In such a scenario, the need is ‘awareness building’, whereby you need to strike a balance. Balancing postures in yoga make you aware of imbalances in life. Body’s de-stress mechanism needs to be brought out through these postures and stretching exercises. For instance, Natraj asana where you balance your body on tips of your toes or Vriksha asana (tree pose) where you stand on one leg with your other leg
folded and touching your thighs and your arms stretched on top of your head in folded position. Since you’re standing in a way where your body is not in complete balance, your nervous system gets toned up and becomes strong. Thus, whenever any stressful moment comes across, it will not affect you much.

Try Reiki therapy : People are worried about job cuts due to recession that causes stress both amongst the youth and the seniors. Their future growth becomes uncertain as avenues get limited. To survive in the industry, they have to work harder and excessive work causes greater stress. With Reiki they can programme your success at the job interviews and presentations.

De-stress your mind and soul : Meditation is an effective tool to de-stress and make you more confident and peaceful. It directly affects your mental, physical health and eases ailments. When combined with Reiki, the benefits increase manifold that includes improved harmony between employees and the employers, increased productivity and enhanced employee performance to name a few. If you regularly meditate for 3-4 hours a week, you would feel de-stressed within a month.
