Abstract
Living through a pandemic can be scary. Corona virus has been defined as the worldwide spread of a new disease by the World Health Organisation. This global pandemic has resulted in much worry, concern and fear. Many countries are in lockdown, schools have been shut down, elderly and physically vulnerable people are in danger, people are stuck inside and the economic impacts are devastating. All these factors are adding to the anxiety and distress. Psychological stress can damper the ability to remain resilient in the face of challenges. The research data can be used to provide evidence-driven strategies so that adverse psychological impacts could be reduced. In this paper, an effort has been made to suggest the complementary strategy for facing the current psychological crisis. The research studies that can establish a relationship between meditation as an intervention and mental and emotional health have been included. This paper reviews several scientific studies that demonstrate that meditation helps boost the immune system.
