16/07/2025

Medical Professionals at Healing Hands Hospital, Pune, recently embraced IAM® Meditation for holistic wellness. The doctors, dietitians, and healthcare staff participated in the Integrated Amrita Meditation Workshop— a significant step toward prioritizing their own well-being!

In the demanding world of healthcare, where professionals dedicate themselves tirelessly to the care of others, it is equally important that they take time to nurture their own mental and emotional health. The IAM training provided participants with practical tools to manage stress, enhance focus, and support overall wellness — all through a brief daily practice that fits easily into even the busiest schedules.

Amma says that the source of fulfilment lies deep within each one of us. Meditation is a wonderful way to access this wellspring of happiness.

"I have tried practicing many different types of meditation, but I never felt I had found the right one—nor was I sure I was doing it correctly. I’m very happy to have learned the IAM Meditation today. The IAM Technique is a practical tool that helps reconnect with inner peace, manage stress, and sustain compassionate care amidst the demands of our work.", remarked Ms Shruti Keluskar, from Healing Hands.

Rooted in ancient yogic wisdom and supported by modern scientific research, IAM integrates physical relaxation, breath awareness, and meditation.

"This meditation is beneficial for medical professionals, helping to improve concentration, decision-making, and emotional resilience — essential qualities in high-pressure healthcare settings. More importantly, it offers a much-needed pause, fostering a sense of calm and inner balance amidst the intensity of their work.", remarked the participants.

Witnessing the participants’ genuine involvement and openness was truly heartening. For the instructors, it was deeply inspiring to share IAM with a group so dedicated to healing others — and now, committed to nurturing their own inner well-being as well.
