Abstract

Mental health and inner peace are very useful and essential for everyone. They are highly treasured by most people, but few possess them. However, each one can develop them. All individuals seek contentment and wish to be happy, but happiness is very much interrelated with social, physical, and mental health. Mental health affects physical health. Downbeat psychological states, such as distress, depression, and anxiety have been found to be related to mental health problems. Negative thoughts have been found to take part in a critical role in depression and psychological adjustment. One’s positive thoughts are found to be positively related to satisfaction with life and happiness. The richer we become in inner peace, the healthier our minds become. It is therefore very important to develop the relationship between inner peace and mental health, because the complex challenges that individuals face today are also an urgent issue for the entire society. Thus, the present paper is structured to establish the relationship between inner peace and mental health to create a more peaceful, harmonious, and compassionate world through Raj yoga meditation.

Keywords: Mental health, Raj yoga, meditation, hypertension, peace of mind
