A recent study by WHO found that more than 75% of Indians under the age of 40 suffer from stress-related illnesses. They stem not only from poor lifestyle choices, but are also symptomatic of a stressful work environment. Increasing pressures of tight deadlines, team disharmony, project overload and work disengagement are just some of the daily challenges that characterize the modern workplace.

Employees suffering from high stress levels have lower engagement, are less productive and have higher absenteeism levels. It is imperative with such an epidemic to ensure the mental and emotional welfare of employees.

Truly enlightened businesses put holistic employee welfare first. They seek to address workplace tension head-on, creating a culture of harmony, engagement and creativity. This is the bedrock of all highly productive trailblazing companies. Companies such as Apple, Google, McKinsey etc., craft programs that embrace holistic well-being for their employees.

McKinsey partner and meditation aficionado Michael Rennie says, “What’s good for the spirit is good for the bottom line.”

Our practitioner Upasana takes you through some of the techniques that are being used by corporate to empower their employees

What are they including in their corporate wellness programs? Embracing these 9 phenomenally powerful ‘New Age’ methods and training:

1. Meditation: The simplest and most transformative tool is a 15-minute meditation. From the United States Marines to high-performing companies such as Google and General Mills, the benefits of workplace meditation are universally praised. It helps reduce hypertension, increase clarity and improve interpersonal communication. Passive meditation calms the nervous system and brain, overcoming anxiety and stress. Active and mindful meditation brings the goal into focus, increasing positivity and creativity. Group meditations are especially powerful. The ‘Maharishi Effect’ is proof of its transformative power. They generate waves of vibrational flow that rapidly improvebiology, collective culture and creativity.

2. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): NLP provides practical tools to gain clarity on goals as well asstrategies to achieve them easily and creatively. NLP uses 2 powerful forces that determine the very fabric of our lives — neural patterns in the brain, and language cues across all modes of communication. Through “trance” communication and imagination, the subconscious mind is focused on the desired results. NLP skills are especially highly valued in marketing, sales, client management and leadership development. The tools of NLP have helped countless people, from overcoming fears to improving strategic skills to devising market-disruptive technologies. In the words of Tony Robbins, “the only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.”

3. Silva Mind Control Method: The Silva Method goes beyond the subconscious mind to activate and harness the power of higher brain functions. This method leads the brain into alpha and theta states that open up access to higher wisdom.Further techniques dramatically increase one’s intuition, focus and extra sensory abilities. And then goes a step further giving you the power to heal your body and manifest your vision. At the core of manifesting is your intent. When that intent is focused, extraordinary things can happen. Successful authors such as Jack Canfield and Richard Bach have experienced phenomenal breakthroughs in their writing using the Silva Method.

4. Emotional Freedom Techniques (Tapping): How many times have you let fear stop you from doing something you love? Beliefs that you are incapable or people will criticise you can sabotage your efforts and happiness. EFT is a simple yet effective tool. Lightly tapping on specific acupressure points on the body immediately begin to helps release negative beliefs and past traumas from a cellular level. And when paired with affirmations, this process becomes extremely powerful. Recently, one of my clients who was visiting a prospective customer, tapped out her worries on the way to a meeting. When she sat for the meeting, she was so calm and confident with the customer that she was able to get the business.

5. Access Consciousness: With Access Consciousness, we foray into the world of ‘energy work’. Every thought, emotion and belief has a vibration. Even desired results such as revenue, customers, smooth operations have a vibration of their own. Access Consciousness primarily uses questions and statements that bring up these energies to have a profound cleansing. Through the ‘power of the question’, it further attracts the vibration of the desired results. One of my friends had a particularly difficult co-worker. Every time she had to interact with the colleague, she mentally used the simplest question-tool, “How does it get better than this?” Within two weeks, their team work had improved to such an extent that they were able to complete their project ahead of schedule.

6. Law of Attraction: Many books and articles have been written in recent years on the Law of Attraction. The most popular of course is ‘The Secret’ by Rhonda Byrne. Through emotion-based visualisation, you raise your energy to vibrate at the frequency of what you want. But how this applies to an organisation is even more spectacular. Every corporation vibrates at a certain frequency. This attracts certain types of customers, employees and keeps it at a certain operational level. Many times, despite new strategies and action plans, the business does not grow. When employees come together and channel the law of attraction, the entire frequency of the business changes. With higher energies, come the right opportunities, cohesive operations and rapid business growth.

7. Energy Healing: Reiki, Pranic Healing, Theta Healing etc., may not be new concepts to you. Receiving energy healing is a relaxing and uplifting experience. When medication or therapy is supplemented with energy work, people have experienced faster and deeper healing. Recipients enjoy holistic well-being at physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. The basic foundation to all energy work is that everything is naturally biased towards growth, well-being and expansion. The healer and healee simply facilitate this process. The body returns to health. The mind returns to stability. The heart returns to joy. Is there anything better than happy employees?

8 Angel Healing: What would your life and business be like if you have a team of angels managing everything? We all have Guides, Angels and Mentors in the subtle dimension. They’re waiting to help us and seek ways to communicate their happy presence to us. All we need do is ask for their help. With their higher wisdom and ability to assist in manifestation, they are a formidable team working on our side. Recently, I asked my team of “business development” angels to help me connect with the best client for me. A few days later I suddenly got the impulse to attend an informal meet-up. With the utmost ease and grace I was able to meet and sign on a client who was also attending the same event.

9. Power of Stories: Stories spark emotion. They are great healing tools that help us make sense of the world we live in. They inspire hope and passion, igniting us into creative action. Stories speak directly to the subconscious or what in academic circles is called the ‘psyche’. Jungian psychology explores the various archetypes and symbols that pervade every individual’s psyche. The right story can help us articulate how we feel and find creative solutions to challenges. Various agencies, from corporations to the military to prisons use the power of stories and storytelling. They are a powerful tool to initiate change.

As they come from the Earth, Crystals can help you to connect to the healing energy of our planet, making you feel more calm and balanced. You don’t have to be spiritual to enjoy their benefits, which are many – each one offers unique properties that can heal various aspects of your life.   Our Reiki grandmaster and crystal healer Jagruty has the following to say about crystals,   "The power of crystals and other stones have been long recognized, since the dawning of civilization – prized for not only their beauty but for their healing and spiritual power.  Healers, and priests have long used them for their unique and special properties. It is widely believed that crystals vibrate at the same pitch as humans – such that the resonance between the stone and the human either fights off the vibration of the illness or enhances the vibration of health.   There are crystals that can improve your love life, crystals that can help you attract money, heal, improve your career, help you let go of anger and sadness, release self-doubt, and so much more. 1.

As part of our #Wellnessstories, a client who had taken reiki healing for his daughters board exam stress, writes this of his experience,

" When my daughter was in 10^th grade, by Dec my wife and me realised that her focus was not her studies,  she was extremely distracted by social media and her friends. She is an intelligent girl, but I think she became a little overconfident of her studies,  and decided that she did not work too much for her exams. With 3 months to go for her exams, we got worried and also realised that somewhere she was under exam stress. I read this article on how reiki helps students during exams, so I approached healclinic whom I found on facebook. Honestly I was not too sure, but after speaking to their counselor, felt quite confident that they can help. They created a 3 month reiki plan for my daughter which ws to get over on her last exam day.

The reiki was given distantly, and my daughter or any of us did not have to sit in one place when reiki was given. The healer would give her reiki daily and we were constantly in touch with the healer through whatsapp. Over the next few weeks we found my daughters focus and discipline coming back. She became a bit more relaxed about her exam stress. I am still not sure how reiki worked, but those 3 months she studied, and the best part of the healing was that any other issues that my daughter had whether not feeling well, or being disturbed by some emotion was taken care of.

Based on my experience, I went back to healclinic in her 11^th and 12^th grades too and was not disappointed. I am extremely happy with the results, and recently I myself got attuned to reiki level 1 and 2 through healclinic. The reason I like healclinic was that they have healers who do different healing and depending on what I needed they created the plan accordingly."

As part of our #Wellnessstories, a client who was having issues in her married life/family relationship approached us for help. Our counselor understood her challenges and as a person what she would be comfortable for. Below is her journey with us.

Disclaimer: Healing never guarantees that a relationship will work out positively, but yes you will see things moving in some direction.

A 41 year old female was going through a bad patch in her married life, and unable to decide if she wanted to end her marriage or not. Lot of her childhood insecurities and financial fears played a role in her indecisiveness. When she approached healclinic, we did a 2 pronged approach. We started her healing with theta healing sessions which helped her in identifying beliefs around love, partnership, finances and societal pressures. Post which we moved her to a 5 month reiki plan.

In her words,

“I was sceptical as I had never experienced healing before. The 3 theta healing sessions were good as it helped me understand where I was coming from and why I had the fears that I had. However I could not implement the action plan that came out of those sessions. But when we started the reiki healing, things moved really fast for me. I had not realised that theta sessions had opened me up to receiving healing the way I was and since I had already identified areas to work on, it became easier for me.

After 2 months of healing and counselling I found the courage to have a conversation with my partner which I have never had before.  Just having that conversation was such a relief for me and I felt that I had finally started taking ownership of my life. I found the courage to start working on my family relationship the way I wanted to.

As a result of the conversation, my partner for the first time realised where he was going wrong and agreed to most of what I said. Post which we started working together on our married life. I would not say it was magic and everything happened quickly but yes with the healing things started falling in place for me and gave me the courage to take actions which I did not before. It’s been a year since I took the healing, and thanks to the sessions my family life is back on track.”

Healing can be done for any area of your life. Different forms of healing work differently and help a person for their highest good. At times the change is tangible but most of the times the immediate change is intangible and hence people feel that healing has not helped. But over a period of time, they start seeing the difference, especially if you take action towards what has been guided during the sessions.  If you wish to get healing done, contact us here or give us a call at +91 80500023237
