Unlocking mind’s potential for better business practice

June 03, 2005

Swami Satyadharma will give some practical advice on posture, breathing practices, relaxation and meditation that can help achieve success in the business world.
“Businesses in India are embracing yoga in the workplace as a way of developing relations between employees and employers and also to help executives cope with stress,” Swami Satyadharma said.
The Swami will deliver her lecture, “The Business of Personal Development and Mind Management”, at UNE as part of her tour of Asia and Australia.
She has been teaching yoga for more than 30 years and was instrumental in establishing an undergraduate curriculum at India’s first modern yoga university.
“Yoga can be used to manage our mind and personality,” Swami Satyadharma said.
“Just as science teaches us to become aware of our environment, yoga teaches us to become aware of ourselves internally, our energy, our psyche and our personality.
“Yoga helps us listen to our mind and further, to unlock subtle ideas that come from a higher mind.
“For instance, in listening through yoga to our mind, we can train ourselves to pick up those subtle business hunches.”
As well as helping people cope with their daily business, Swami Satyadharma said yoga is also being used to complement Western health services.
“A strong mind can stay focused on one point for a period of time, gaining knowledge and insight. A concentrated mind has power, creativity and excellent memory,” Swami Satyadharma said.
The Swami’s presentation will be held in the Lewis Seminar Room at UNE’s Faculty of Economics, Business and Law.
The presentation starts at 11.30am and all are welcome.
