INTERVIEW:


Nonduality and Mental Wellbeing:
Deepak Chopra and Milena Braticevic




The increase in moderate to severe levels of anxiety & depression due to the COVID pandemic reveals that we are failing to prevent common mental disorders on a large scale. There is an increased need for prevention-oriented mental health literacy programs to overcome current challenges and manage high levels of uncertainty and change. Experiential education in nondual consciousness can be effective in preventing clinical anxiety & depression. Increasing nondual consciousness can reduce depression symptoms from clinical level to normal, and anxiety from moderate to mild in only 4 sessions.


COVID MINDSET SURVEY:


The stay-at-home experience provided a new way of being and many people are grateful




The COVID crisis has brought a new way of being, and the need for a more genuine relationship with change and uncertainty. It has revealed a sense of inter-connectedness, the need for self-care and a positive outlook, and has made people aware of the tendency to worry and be thrown out of balance by modern lifestyle. The crisis has also allowed the time and space for deep introspection into what matters most, inspiring people to overcome fear and open the heart. It disturbed the conventional way of being, and made personal and collective resilience more important than ever.
