" He , who has health , has hope . And he , who has hope , has everything . " -

Health is the greatest gift . The English word " health " comes from the old English word " hale " , meaning "
wholeness , a being whole , sound or well - being " . The World Health Organization ( WHO ) defined " health " as
" Health is a state of complete physical , mental and social well - being and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity .
Positive psychology , " is a recent method which is being employed in psychological treatment protocols , in an
effort to better understanding about happiness , meaning of life , character strengths , and how all these can be
developed and enhanced in life to have a better quality of life Positive emotions promote discovery of novel and
creative actions , ideas and social bonds , which in turn , build an individual's personal resources ; ranging from
physical and intellectual resources , to social and psychological resources . Positive emotions play a crucial role in
enhancing resources and coping in the face of negative events . Subjective well - being and satisfaction with life are
important domains of life . Meditation is considered as a type of mind body complementary medicine . It can give a
sense of calmness , peace and balance that benefits both emotional well - being and overall health . Spending even a
few minutes in meditation can restore mental calmness and inner peace . Brahma Kumaris Rajayoga Meditation (
BKRM ) gives a clear spiritual understanding of self and helps one to re - discover the use of positive qualities which
are already latent within oneself , this enables to develop p strengths of character and to create new attitudes and
responses to life.
