Modern life is unbelievably stressful. According to a 2018 study, 9 out of 10 Indians feel they’re suffering from stress because of work, health or money. 3 out 4 said they don't feel comfortable talking to a medical or mental health professional for their stress. 

On this episode of Vishnu Ki Secret Life, I explore five alternatives to meditation for relaxation and stress relief.
These techniques are useful for different challenges you face daily, including work stress, sleeplessness, social anxiety, and general anxiety.
The methods I tried include Autogenic Relaxation, Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation Technique, Guided Visualization, Diaphragmatic Breathing and Body Scan Relaxation.
Which method will suit you best? Listen to the podcast and find out!

How Can We Better Deal With The Big Changes in Our Lives?

What do music lessons, art therapy, cooking, and video-calling have in common? Well, they're all great ways to pass your time in lockdown, silly!


This is a special episode of Vishnu Ki Secret Life, recorded from deep within the confines of my home during lockdown. 


More than two weeks have passed since most of the world went into lockdown, to stop COVID-19 from spreading any further. Two weeks in isolation can do a number to anyone's mental health and peace, going from fun to "when will this end?" quicker than you can say, "coronavirus is not that dangerous".


We're joined by an art therapist, a music teacher, a part-time chef and full-time lawyer, and a counsellor, on this special episode!


Guests: Nyana Sabharwal, Founder, SafeSpace

Anu Singh, Art Therapist, Certified Zentangle Teacher & NLP Coach

Suyash Gabriel, Drummer & Music Teacher

Arnab Ghosh, Lawyer & Part-Time Chef

How to Be Happy, Sane and Productive Amid COVID-19 Lockdown

In the interest of limiting the novel coronavirus’ spread, a number of organisations in India and across the world have asked their employees to work from home, thus eliminating person-to-person contact.


This, as you may know, is all contributing to what has become the watchword in this time of pandemic and panic –– social distancing.


Social distancing is a set of non-medical steps that can limit the spread of the virus.


If we don’t practice social distancing, and if the number of infected keep rising, we also risk overburdening our healthcare system, something that Italy has had to deal with.


Things have changed, and will have to change as we go on... social distancing – by not going out, by working from home, by limiting human interaction, becomes an essential part of this.


Today we’ll show you how to prepare for social distancing and do it effectively so you can weather the coming weeks with good health and peace of mind.

Guests: Dr. Jayakrishnan, Co-ordinator, Regional Prevention of  Epidemic Disease Cell, Calicut Medical College


Dr. Sumit Ray, Chairperson Critical Care Medicine and Chief of Medical Services, Artemis Hospitals Delhi
