Mahashakti Movement: Mental Wellness & Awareness Camp with Scout Girls An initiative by Ekakivedam Foundation under the guidance of Dr. Komal (Shivpriya Ji)

Theme: Seva Se Samman Tak — Spreading Awareness, Strength & Serenity

Introduction: Nurturing the Mind, Nourishing the Soul

In today’s fast-paced world, young minds often face silent battles — stress, anxiety, and overthinking.

Recognizing this rising need, the Ekakivedam Foundation, under its Mahashakti Movement, organized a Mental Wellness and Awareness Camp with Scout Girls, aiming to nurture emotional resilience and inner calm.

Under the compassionate guidance of Dr. Komal (Shivpriya Ji), the session focused on understanding the importance of mental health, managing overthinking, and learning practical mind relaxation techniques.

The Vision: Mental Health as a Form of Seva

Mental health is not just the absence of illness; it is the presence of balance, peace, and awareness.

Through this initiative, Ekakivedam Foundation continues its mission of Seva Se Samman Tak — serving humanity by nurturing dignity, awareness, and holistic wellness.

The purpose of the camp was to:

Educate scout girls about mental health and emotional awareness.

Break taboos surrounding psychological well-being.

Teach simple, practical tools to reduce stress and overthinking.

Encourage self-love, mindfulness, and teamwork for inner balance.

The Session: Learning with Lightness

The camp began with an inspiring introduction by Dr. Komal (Shivpriya Ji), who emphasized that:

“A healthy mind is not one without thoughts — it’s one that knows how to rest between them.”

She explained how overthinking drains energy, reduces focus, and distances us from self-awareness.

To help the scout girls cope better, she shared several simple yet powerful techniques:

Techniques to Stop Overthinking & Relax the Mind:

1. 5-Minute Deep Breathing Practice – inhale positivity, exhale clutter.

2. Affirmations of Peace – repeating: “I am calm, I am in control.”

3. Grounding Exercises – connecting to the present moment using senses.

4. Digital Detox Routine – taking mindful breaks from screens.

5. Gratitude Journaling – writing 3 good things daily to shift focus to joy.

These exercises were followed by a guided relaxation meditation, where the girls practiced focusing on breath and releasing negative thoughts. The atmosphere turned peaceful — eyes closed, hearts open, and smiles gentle.

Emotional Awareness & Group Interaction

After the meditation, the scout girls participated in an interactive discussion where they shared their experiences of stress, competition, and social pressure.

Dr. Komal gently guided them to understand that:

“Emotions are messages, not enemies — listen, don’t suppress.”

She encouraged them to express freely, seek help when needed, and never feel ashamed of feeling low.

The camp became not just a class, but a heart-to-heart circle — full of empathy, understanding, and connection.

Key Takeaways from the Wellness Camp

Mental health is as important as physical health.

Overthinking can be managed through mindfulness and breathing.

Emotional wellness comes from self-acceptance.

Small daily habits — gratitude, calm breathing, and journaling — build long-term peace.

Helping others and sharing kindness is a form of mental healing too.

The girls left with lighter hearts and brighter faces — inspired to take care of their minds, emotions, and friendships.

Message from Dr. Komal (Shivpriya Ji):

“Every young girl is a seed of Shakti — she just needs light, guidance, and care to bloom.

Mental wellness is the soil of confidence, and peace is its fragrance.

Let us grow together — calm, conscious, and compassionate.”

Impact and Future Vision

This Mental Wellness Camp under the Mahashakti Movement is part of Ekakivedam’s ongoing mission to bring psychological awareness to youth, especially young girls and students.

The Foundation plans to expand similar workshops to schools, scout units, and rural communities, focusing on emotional education, meditation, and mental health support.

Conclusion: Empowering Minds, Awakening Hearts

The Mahashakti Movement continues to guide young souls towards strength, balance, and awareness.

Through this initiative, Ekakivedam Foundation reminded every scout girl that mental health is not a luxury — it is self-respect.

And awareness is the first step to awakening.

“When the mind is calm, the Shakti within begins to shine.”
