… a state of wellbeing in which the individual
realizes his/her abilities, can cope with the
normal stresses of life, can work productively
and fruitfully and is able to make contribution
to his/her community (WHO 2001)
It is the foundation for wellbeing and effective
functioning of an individual and community as Mental,
Physical and Social Functioning are interdependent.
What is a organization
Collection of Individual working together.
Collection of body of workforce.
Body is irrelevant without mind.
Thus , it’s a collection of Mind first and then
the body.
Can we safely refer the collection of Mind to
the Corporate Mind of the Business.
Then lets explore the status of this Mind that
govern the body of the Corporate Existence.

Where do we place ourselves
An Employee brings not just the body but also the mind to his Work-Place
Organization/ Companies provide the following
benefits for physical health
•Gymnasium
•Sports
•Parties
•Physical Health Scheme
•Accident Coverage etc.
IS THIS ENOUGH ?
Majority Employee cannot utilize the above benefits because they are
•Mentally Disturbed
•Mentally Tensed and Exhausted
•Psychologically Pressurized
•More engaged in work through their Mental Capabilities;
•No Vent to either Channelize or Release the Mental Clutter
•Lack of proper and attentive functioning of Mind.
If it’s NOT a Disease, It Cannot be Treated with Medicine
It not about Mind-Ailments;
Its about Issues which create
Mind-Stress & Tension.
Issues/Matters and Pressures of
Normal Day to Day Living
Only help is an assistance of a
Counselor / Psychotherapist.
Normal, Sane and Intelligent
humans should undergo
counseling to reinstate the Mind
and make it Clutter-FREE.
Mind is more valuable than our cell phone.
Recharging of Mind is more Important than a cell phone,
GIVE MIND the NECESSARY Talk Time it requires to be
useful and valuable.
Flushing Cluttered Emotions and Experiences is Very Important
