Abstract

Emotional intelligence refers to the capability of a person to manage and control his or her emotions and possess the ability to control the emotions of others as well. Research studies reveal that one can develop their emotional intelligence by knowing the fact of chakras meditation and practising the power of chakras which controls particular parts of the body, energizing particular organs and brings harmony within the body. If any of these chakras are blocked then energy cannot flow freely. The flow of energy through the solar plexus chakra has been linked to self-confidence, self-control and self-worth. Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a unique meditation technique which was introduced by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in the mid of 1950s. This study was carried out to study the impact of enhancing solar chakra by TM in the age group of 17-21 of different educational institutions by purposive sampling method. 40 students were selected for the present study. The quick emotional intelligence scale by Paul Mohapel (2015) was used to study the emotional intelligence of the sample group. The results of the study show that the students showed a significant improvement in emotional intelligence after the intervention.
