Abstract :

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is a component of human body’s one of the control systems, namely ‘Nervous System’ which controls both mechanical and biochemical activities being undertaken by the body. All such activities are classified in two categories: I) Voluntary II) Involuntary. Involuntary activities in the human body are going on independently with the help of inbuilt mechanism within custodian organ(s) with stipulated pace and quantity required for our healthy survival. However, in certain unexpected circumstances caused on the pretext of varying range of stimuli the control system i.e. Central Nervous System, particularly brain, initiates hyperactivity of different involuntary organs, through ‘Sympathetic’ component of ANS. Such hyperactivities result in the state of stress and finally lead to irreparable damage to various organs, associated with significant negative change in the psychological state and behaviour of the individual. Omnipresence of various stimulatory circumstances causes deterioration in behaviour pattern of the majority of population resulting in psychological evils and breakdown in social health state of the community. To address this problem related to humanity at large, we need to have a viable and cost effective mechanism of action. Taken from the treasure of Indian culture, Yoga, specifically meditation has proved to be one and only such effective mechanism. Pathway of mechanism of the efficacy of meditation on psychosocial health needs to be elaborated.
