Abstract
Emotional intelligence, encompassing self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, motivation, and social skills, is essential for personal and professional growth. Ancient practices like meditation, rooted in Indian traditions, have been recognized for their potential to enhance emotional intelligence by fostering emotional and psychological balance. Among these practices, Amrit Varsha Dhyan, introduced by Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya, emerges as a unique meditative approach emphasizing emotional harmony through guided visualization techniques. Amrit Varsha Dhyan involves visualizing the absorption of "Amrit" (divine nectar) to cleanse emotions, reduce stress, and cultivate positive thought patterns and behaviors.
This paper explores the foundational evidence linking Amrit Varsha Dhyan with the development of emotional intelligence. Through practices like guided imagery and visualization, Amrit Varsha Dhyan is believed to enhance self-awareness, emotional resilience, empathy, and social skills, contributing to holistic well-being. Empirical studies also highlight Amrit Varsha Dhyan's role in reducing anxiety, fostering emotional stability, and improving mental clarity. This study explores the potential of Amrit Varsha Dhyan as a structured meditation practice for cultivating emotional intelligence and promoting overall mental health.
