Report on Meditation for Medics 05.02.2022 at GCH, London
10 February 2022
‘We thoroughly loved every moment of the evening...I was telling my children and family and we would like to enrol on the Raj Yoga course’ ‘Thanks for the BK introductions...it was such a positive vibe from all the doctors we met.’
This gathering was the inspiration of heart surgeon, Professor Prakash Punjabi, Consultant Cardiothoracic surgeon at Hammersmith Hospital and who works across the North West London health trusts, drew many medical colleagues and friends to attend this special event to introduce over 70 souls from the medical profession to Raja Yoga Meditation and its benefits when taken up as a practise.
Sister Jaymini welcomed everyone, many of whom were present in GCH for the first time.
Sister Jaymini thanked everyone present for all the support and services that NHS and doctors have provided since the beginning of Covid........Sister Jayanti, Sister Sudesh, Professor Prakash Punjabi lit candles to appreciate all the work done.
One minute’s silence was held to mark respect for all those who have departed since the start of the covid19 pandemic two years ago, as well as for all those who continue to serve in the NHS and front line medical services.
Pro. Prakashbhai introduced himself and thanked the BK’s for organising and bringing everyone together.
I am privileged to be associated with Brahma kumaris. It is a personal honour. As doctors we take a Hippocratic oath. We chose medicine because we wished to serve patients. When we get an opportunity to serve BK’s it must be that we have been super selected.(He was responsible for the care of SudeshDidi with her recent heart surgery). All we do is medical management of physical ailments. There is a far bigger sickness, the social, mental, emotional sickness, a far bigger role needed......that the BK’s do. Any knowledge we gain over the years within the medical profession falls short of what the BK’s do. I feel it is a privilege and an honour to serve. The power Sudeshdidi distributed on the second day in intensive care....she seemed to be looking after us, yet we needed to look after her. This is the power of spirituality.
Pro Prakashbhai introduced bk Dr Sarah Eagger, who shared about the work of the Janki Foundation, Global Hospital in Mount Abu and Spirituality in Health Care programme. She shared how Dadi Janki would tell them that the souls in healthcare need serving and helping – with spirituality teaching resilience and coping skills as well as remaining authentic in purpose of these caring roles, how to remain calm and compassionate through it all. She mentioned ‘happidote’ app as a tool to support healthcare professionals with self care and managing difficulties in the workplace using spiritual skills. Also various publications to support both patients and carers such as ‘Lifting our Spirits’ and ‘The Heart of Wellbeing’. She also mentioned the initiatives during lock down such as ‘Embracing Isolation and the Shining light on Death online series to support people to ‘take the fear out of a natural process’.
Dr Sangeetha Punjabi head of department at Northwick park hospital, was introduced:
It is such a beautiful moment as we gather together without masks......we survived and have gone past these two years where our way of life was isolation. I have been asked to share my experience of this iconic organisation. There is a sense of calm and peace that this place exudes. I came across the BK’s at a doctors conference and I was completely mesmerised by what I was listening too. Although we think we know it all and are able to deal with it all, the stresses and strains and can handle everything...can we really deal with everything....are we just skirting the sides...when the situation comes and we face the challenges, I feel the unrest, the stress, and dissatisfaction – how come we are unable to deal with it all.....there is a deep dive that we all have to take.....when the going is good we fee good but when the going is not so good we struggle....we need this deep dive to understand who am I? I came out of my first Raja Yoga meditation session quite transformed. It is not about giving up what we are doing but a way of living and the way and art of thinking that comes with practise. Without practise we cannot deal with anything. If we don’t practise our affirmations or morning chants of what we wish our day to be and how we react to situations I realise it doesn’t come to my rescue. To bring it to life or rescue is to spend some time with the self.....raja yoga meditation teaches us to go within the self. The biggest block to me feeling good or happy is the self. The way I deal with any situation is according to how I process.....this is a realisation to how to deal with this block and there are many ways and techniques to learn to help us with this. The other realisation is that we don’t have to give up anything. It is not about renouncing pleasures but look at it all differently...I am so glad and grateful to have found this journey and that there is this path in which we can experience the joys of family life and work but tools to learn the art of thinking and dealing with situations.....Please click on the link below to read the rest of this report.
