Meditation tips to ensure a restful night for your kids
Meditation can help your child sleep better: Simple techniques for a peaceful bedtime (Image: TOI) If you have ever tucked your child into bed only to find them wide awake an hour later, you are not alone. Between gadgets, school stress and a million little distractions, many children just cannot seem to power down when the day is over. Most of the kids keep buzzing around till late at night. Homework is done (or maybe not), the tablet is still warm from that last YouTube video and their minds are replaying a mix of the day's highs, lows and 'what ifs' and then, of course, you tell them it is bedtime. Sleep isn't just rest. It is when kids' bodies grow, their brains process the day and their moods reset. Without enough of it, you start to see the crankiness, the forgetfulness and the 'I can't focus' moments creep in. So, how do you actually get them to slow down? One surprisingly simple answer: meditation. If you have ever tried telling your 10-year-old, 'Let's meditate before bed', you have probably been met with the same look they give you when you say, 'Eat your vegetables'. Somewhere between homework, sports practice and arguing over bedtime, the idea of sitting still with eyes closed feels like a punishment to most kids but kids need rest as much as they need play and in a world where they are constantly stimulated (school deadlines, competitive sports, notifications from friends and the ever-present Instagram reels or YouTube shorts), their young brains rarely get the downtime they deserve. Sleep becomes restless and mornings turn into a battlefield. Why today's kids are struggling to switch off? Is screen time ruining your child's sleep? The surprising role of meditation (Image: TOI) Let us be honest — bedtime for many kids is not exactly peaceful. Blue light from phones and TVs quietly tells their brains, 'Stay awake, something's happening,' and this constant screen time changes their behaviour pattern and makes them feel restless, always in motion. Some kids just run on high energy. Others are hyped up by busy schedules, noisy surroundings, or even the wrong kind of snacks before bed. Little minds, big worries. A fight with a friend, a rough day at school, or changes at home, those thoughts do not disappear just because the lights are out and when sleep suffers, you see it in the morning: short tempers, wandering minds and homework that takes forever. What meditation actually does? Can meditation really help your child wind down before bed? (Image: TOI) In an interview with TOI, Priyankka Sanap, Counselling Psychologist, Founder and CEO of Soulful Healing, trained Pranic Healer, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Master Coach and Spiritual Abundance Mentor, shared that meditation isn't magic but it can feel like it. A few minutes is enough to start shifting things in kids' bodies and minds: Heart rate slows down as it soothes the body and gives the brain a message to relax. Stress hormone levels drop. Melatonin , the body's built-in sleep helper, starts flowing. Brain activity eases from high-speed 'day mode' into slower, sleepy rhythms. Emotional control improves, meaning fewer pre-bed meltdowns. One study in Frontiers in Psychology found that just 10–15 minutes a day of mindfulness made kids sleep better and handle emotions more calmly, in only a few weeks while a study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine by Stanford University researchers found that mindfulness training significantly improved sleep quality in children. The Stanford Medicine study, Mindfulness training helps kids sleep better, underscored the potential benefits of incorporating mindfulness practices into school curricula to support children's mental and physical health. Here are some easy ways to try it tonight: 1. The Breathing Buddy Trick: Have your child lie down with a small stuffed toy on their belly. Watch it rise and fall as they breathe. It's calming without feeling like 'meditation homework.' 2. Head-to-Toe Relax: Start at their toes, move slowly up the body, and have them relax each part as you go. Soft voice, slow pace. 3. Imagine a Safe Place: Guide them to picture somewhere peaceful. A beach, a treehouse, a sunny field. Add some details such as the smell of the air and the sound of water. 4. Recall Three Good Things: Ask them to name three things from the day they're happy about. It shifts their focus from worries to positives. Tips for parents to make it stick Keep bedtime roughly the same every night. Dim the lights about an hour before bed. Cut screens and wild games before sleep. Join in. Kids love it when parents do it too. Meditation won't turn bedtime into a picture-perfect scene overnight but over time, it creates a gentle rhythm, one where bodies slow, minds settle and the day ends on a soft note and here's the bonus: in helping them relax, you might just find yourself sleeping better too. When we think of 'meditation,' most adults imagine sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, in pin-drop silence. Now try asking a 10-year-old to do that after a day of school, sports and screen time. Chances are, you will get either giggles or groans. So for kids, meditation does not have to look like meditation. It is less about lotus poses and more about creating a gentle pause - a winding-down ritual that slows the brain and relaxes the body. Bringing her expertise to the same, Dr Mansi Talwar, Mindful Living and Communication Coach, recommended - 1. Redefine Meditation for Kids: Forget the image of monks sitting cross-legged in total silence. For children, meditation can simply mean 'a moment to quiet the noise in your head'. It doesn't have to involve chanting or incense (unless they like it). For school-going kids, meditation could be: Guided bedtime stories that slow down their thoughts. Mindful breathing games like 'Smell the flower, blow out the candle'. Gratitude reflections, where they name three good things from their day. Body scan relaxation, where they imagine melting into the bed, one muscle at a time. 2. Make it a Ritual, Not a Rule: Children resist what feels imposed but gravitate toward what feels special. Instead of declaring, 'From now on, we meditate every night', start with, 'Let's try something fun before we sleep'. Do it with them. Your calm presence is half the magic. Over time, it becomes part of the bedtime flow - like brushing teeth or reading a book. 3. Leverage Their Imagination: Kids are wired for stories. A 'meditation' can be a 5-minute guided journey to a magical forest, flying over clouds, or swimming with dolphins. The key is to speak slowly, use sensory details, and end with them peacefully resting in a safe, cosy space. They'll think they're just enjoying a bedtime story - while their nervous system is winding down. 4. Keep It Short: For beginners, two to five minutes is enough. The goal is not a 30-minute Zen session but a simple wind-down. Consistency beats duration. Five minutes nightly will work better than 20 minutes once a week. 5. Use Movement Before Stillness: Some kids can't jump straight into calm mode, especially after an energetic evening. A few minutes of gentle stretching, yoga poses, or even 'shaking out the day' can help release restlessness so they're ready to settle. 6. Model What You Want Them to Learn: If you tell your child to meditate but they see you scrolling through your phone at night, the message won't stick. Show them that you also take time to slow down, breathe, and prepare your mind for rest. Children learn meditation less from instruction and more from imitation. 7. Link It to Better Mornings: Help them see the benefit. Kids won't meditate just because 'it's good for you' but if they notice they wake up happier, get ready faster, and have more energy for sports or friends, they will start connecting the dots. Meditation for kids is not about perfect stillness; it is about teaching them the art of slowing down. When introduced playfully and practiced consistently, it becomes a bedtime anchor. The beautiful part about it is, it does not just ensure a restful night for them, it creates a few quiet, golden moments for you, too because while parenting is about discipline, it is also about shared peace. Sometimes, the best way to give your child a good night's sleep is to sit together in stillness, no matter how imperfect, and let the day melt away.

EHati Founders Say Programmes Are Safe Spaces For Women, Deny Deviant Teachings & Spiked Piya Drinks
Subscribe to our FREE The founders of eHati International Sdn Bhd, Diyana Tahir and Rahim Shukor, have released a joint statement to address the claims and rumours surrounding their motivational programme. This was due to a claim by Facebook user Masyitah Ashari alleging a programme by eHati involved strange rituals, sexy and ''naked'' dances, which go against Islamic teachings. She claimed that participants were also given Piya, a drink allegedly spiked with ''magic mushrooms,'' which allegedly caused some participants to behave strangely like removing their clothes while dancing. READ MORE: A viral post claimed the eHati programme goes against local values and teachings. Image: TRP File The programmes help women Diyana and her husband, Rahim, shared that they're certified practitioners in hypnotherapy and all company programmes follow the professional ethical standards and local values and cultures. The programmes by eHati aim to help women in Malaysia, regardless of race and religion, to achieve peace, calm, motivation, and heal from deep seated trauma. They do this through several approaches including Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy. The programme modules include sessions on breathwork, Trauma Release Exercise, and hypnotherapy to help participants achieve inner and mental calmness. The company believes all women deserve to enjoy a loving marriage and allegedly has never encouraged participants to forgo marriage. They aim to help couples improve and strengthen their relationship. The company founders also clarified the alleged Tantra massage that took place. They explained that the massage provided has been adapted to suit local sensibilities, which includes a combination of pelvic floor massage and Thai massage. They emphasised that the massages are an optional module and not forced on participants. No spiked drinks and deviant teachings Regarding the spiked Piya drink, the founders explained the drink was made by mixing raw cocoa, honey, and natural herbs to help calm the mind and body. They claimed the drink does not contain prohibited substances or magic mushrooms. Diyana and Rahim deny the claims that they brought participants to Bali, Indonesia to spread deviant teachings (ajaran sesat). The viral picture showed participants at a retreat doing breathwork and the flower decor was provided by the hotel and not a part of a ritual. The man in the picture is a health detox expert sharing his experience and not a spiritual guru. The programmes provide safe spaces for women In November 2022, they gave their statement to the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) about a programme offered by eHati. After some questioning, JAIS accepted the explanation and allowed the programme to continue. However, JAIS advised the company to include a Disclaimer, which they have done, so that participants understand the programme objectives clearly. Diyana and Rahim believe their programmes have given positive impacts to women in Malaysia. They describe their programmes as safe spaces for women and reiterated that they have not received any complaints regarding their service offerings thus far. They hope the public will not blindly listen to rumours but to verify facts before spreading them publicly. They reiterated that their programmes do not go against Islamic teachings and the marriage institution. They have lodged a police report on 12 July 2025 so a full investigation can take place and another report has been lodged with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

[UPDATED] No deviant acts, no spiked drinks, says eHati on viral allegations
KUALA LUMPUR: The organiser of the eHati marriage motivation programme has denied allegations involving spiked drinks and deviant practices at one of its events. In a statement, eHati said it had lodged a police report and a report with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to facilitate investigation. The group said that from July 2, several posts were allegedly made via the account of Masyitah Ashari, which it said were inaccurate and misleading. "We are certified practitioners in the field of hypnotherapy, and every eHati programme is carefully designed in accordance with professional ethical standards and the cultural and religious values of society. "Our modules address various aspects of emotional and mental well-being and are divided into different categories based on hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)." According to eHati, these modules are designed to guide participants in learning effective emotional regulation techniques. These include breathing work, trauma release exercises, and hypnotherapy, aimed at helping women achieve emotional and mental calm. The organisation added that it also offers supplementary programmes for those experiencing difficulties in their marriage. These, however, are only available to those who genuinely require such support. "eHati's modules are rooted in love and the belief that every marriage can be healed. "Our objective remains consistent: to help women find peace, rediscover self-love, and ultimately, restore their marital relationships," the statement said. Addressing the specific allegations about massage techniques, spiked drinks, and purported deviant teachings, eHati clarified: "Our massage techniques are adapted from pelvic floor massage and Thai massage, modified to suit local values and do not involve any religious rituals or elements from other faiths. "The Piya drink is simply a mixture of raw cocoa, honey, and natural spices, to help relax the mind and body. "It contains no illegal substances or 'magic mushrooms', as alleged." Regarding viral photographs taken in Bali, eHati said they were from a retreat, showing participants performing breathing exercises. "The flower arrangements, which are typical of Balinese hospitality, were provided by the hotel and were not part of any ritual. "The man in the photo is a health detox expert invited to share his experience. He is not a spiritual teacher, nor is he affiliated with any religious group." eHati also revealed that in November 2022, it was called in by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) to explain details of one of its programmes. "After providing a comprehensive explanation, JAIS told us that the programme could proceed. "However, they advised us to include a disclaimer for participants, which we accepted, to ensure that participation aligned with the intended objectives." In the statement, issued by eHati International Sdn Bhd founders Diyana Tahir and Rahim Shukor, the company also clarified that it is wholly owned by the two founders and is not affiliated with any political party. eHati said it was taking legal action against those who made what it described as baseless allegations that tarnished the organisation's reputation, credibility, and operations. "We urge the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the viral claims circulating on social media, and to verify the facts before issuing statements that may be damaging.

Analysis of the Impact of Emotional Intelligence and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) on Performance and Well-Being of Employees in High-Pressure Corporate Environments
Abstract This article presents a critical and evidence-based analysis of the impact of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) on the performance and well-being of employees in high-pressure corporate environments. Using a historical-evolutionary approach and grounded in empirical evidence and a systematic literature review, the study explores how these behavioral tools contribute to emotional regulation, psychological resilience, and organizational performance. The theoretical foundations of both approaches are examined, along with their practical applicability in organizational contexts marked by volatility, performance demands, and relational complexity. The analysis includes data from correlational studies and results from training programs focusing on EI and NLP, highlighting positive effects on stress reduction, improved interpersonal relationships, increased engagement, and sustainable performance. The paper concludes by discussing the importance of integrating these methodologies as strategies for human development and effective management in contemporary organizations. Keywords: emotional intelligence, neuro-linguistic programming, organizational performance, workplace well-being, high-pressure environments, human development. 1. Introduction The contemporary corporate landscape is characterized by intense technological, economic, and social transformations, demanding an increasingly broad set of skills from professionals to navigate high-complexity, high-pressure contexts. In this volatile and competitive environment, individual and collective performance can no longer be understood solely through the lens of technical or intellectual competencies. Aspects such as emotional regulation, adaptability, and communication skills have become central to human development strategies within organizations. Emotional Intelligence (EI) has emerged as one of the most studied and applied competencies in organizational psychology. Although its concept was popularized by Daniel Goleman, it is rooted in solid scientific foundations and shows a direct relationship with variables such as effective leadership, job satisfaction, and mental health. Complementarily, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has been established as a practical approach focused on restructuring behavior patterns, communication, and cognition, although its empirical foundation remains a topic of debate. The objective of this article is to technically and scientifically analyze how EI and NLP impact the performance and well-being of employees in high-pressure corporate environments. The approach includes a theoretical review, case studies, correlational data, and evidence from applied training programs. The goal is to demonstrate that, despite their distinct origins and varying levels of validation, both methodologies provide valuable contributions to building healthier, more productive, and humanized organizational environments. This discussion is crucial in light of the urgent need for corporate practices that go beyond task management, focusing on the integral development of the human being. By understanding and applying tools that promote emotional intelligence and behavioral self-regulation, organizations will be better equipped to face contemporary challenges and foster a culture of well-being and high performance. 2. Historical and Theoretical Foundations The understanding of Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a critical factor in human performance gained prominence in the 1990s with the work of Daniel Goleman, who popularized the concept by highlighting its relevance to both professional and personal success. However, the theoretical origin of EI dates back to earlier research, such as that of Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer, who defined EI as the ability to perceive, understand, regulate, and use emotions effectively. This new field brought an innovative perspective to psychology applied to organizations, integrating emotions into a domain traditionally dominated by cognitive competencies. The advancement of the EI concept marked a paradigm shift in leadership theories and organizational behavior. Since then, multifactorial models have emerged that classify EI into domains such as self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, motivation, and social skills, broadening the possibilities for measurement and practical intervention. Organizations began investing in EI assessments to map leadership potential and identify gaps in soft skills, incorporating these metrics into their recruitment, development, and succession processes. Simultaneously, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) emerged in the 1970s as a proposal focused on understanding how mental and linguistic patterns influence human behavior. Created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, NLP operates under the assumption that it is possible to model patterns of human excellence and replicate them through specific techniques. Initially applied in brief therapy and interpersonal communication, NLP rapidly expanded into the corporate world. Despite controversy over the scientific validity of NLP, its practical applicability has solidified in environments that demand high performance, such as sales, executive coaching, and leadership training. The combination of language, behavior, and neurology offers quick interventions for reframing beliefs, changing behaviors, and boosting confidence. Thus, NLP has gained recognition as a tool for personal development, especially in contexts where the human factor is decisive for organizational success. 3. The Complexity of High-Pressure Corporate Environments Economic and technological transformations in recent years have intensified competition between organizations, leading to corporate environments marked by constant pressure for results. This scenario is often described by the acronym VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity), which demands that professionals possess not only technical competence but also sophisticated behavioral skills. Among these, the ability to adapt, emotional resilience, and strategic communication stand out as crucial differentiators. Companies in sectors such as finance, technology, healthcare, and consulting frequently impose aggressive goals, tight deadlines, and environments with high cognitive load. Under these conditions, employees are more vulnerable to physical and emotional exhaustion, known as burnout, as well as other psychosocial disorders. In this context, managing human capital goes beyond productivity and includes promoting mental health and supporting emotional balance. It is precisely in this space that tools like EI and NLP demonstrate their strategic relevance. While Emotional Intelligence enables professionals to recognize and regulate their emotions, preventing impulsive or dysfunctional reactions, NLP provides methods for reprogramming limiting mental patterns and strengthening assertive communication. Both directly contribute to increased focus, clarity in decision-making, and the quality of interpersonal interactions, reducing organizational friction. As organizations recognize the complexity of the factors influencing performance, the demand for integrative human development approaches grows. Investments in EI and NLP-focused programs not only represent a preventive measure against psychological distress but also serve as strategies to promote innovation, collaboration, and sustainable engagement. In high-pressure environments, the humanization of professional relationships becomes a competitive asset. 4. Emotional Intelligence and Performance: Empirical Evidence Research over the past decades has increasingly shown a positive correlation between emotional intelligence and professional performance. One of the most comprehensive studies on this subject, conducted by O'Boyle et al. (2011), analyzed data from over 3,000 participants and concluded that EI is positively associated with performance across different occupations and sectors. This finding validated EI as a predictive competency for organizational success, alongside technical and cognitive skills. The presence of high EI in leaders and employees tends to directly impact the work environment. Emotionally intelligent individuals are better equipped to handle conflicts, adapt to changes, and maintain motivation in adverse situations. These professionals also demonstrate greater sensitivity to social dynamics and better communication skills, which fosters the creation of collaborative and synergistic environments. At the team level, EI translates into healthier interpersonal relationships, reduced turnover, and increased collective productivity. In leadership positions, emotional intelligence is strongly associated with the engagement of subordinates and the effectiveness of strategic decisions. Behaviors such as empathy, active listening, and constructive feedback are pillars of leadership that create positive and lasting impact. In addition to statistical correlation, experimental studies have shown the effectiveness of EI training. Longitudinal research indicates that employees subjected to structured emotional development programs show improvements in well-being indicators, reduced occupational stress, and increased job satisfaction. This reinforces EI as a trainable competency with a direct impact on quality of life and organizational performance. 5. Neuro-Linguistic Programming: Between Practice and Controversy Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) remains a controversial approach within the field of behavioral sciences, primarily due to the lack of systematic empirical validation of its fundamental principles. Despite this, its adoption in the corporate world remains significant, particularly in areas such as executive coaching, sales training, leadership, and communication. The core principles of modeling excellence and changing limiting beliefs continue to attract professionals seeking rapid personal transformation and performance improvement. The main techniques of NLP include emotional anchoring, cognitive restructuring, rapport building, therapeutic metaphors, and linguistic pattern reframing. When applied with discernment and combined with evidence-based approaches, these techniques can enhance self-confidence, focus, and communication clarity. This is especially relevant in high-pressure contexts, where emotional self-regulation is essential for effective performance. Case studies and qualitative reports have pointed to tangible benefits of applying NLP in corporate environments. In one intervention at a financial institution, 180 professionals participated in an 8-week NLP-based program. At the end of the program, 74% reported an increased ability to manage conflicts, improved subjective well-being, and greater clarity in defining goals and priorities, highlighting its transformative potential. However, the lack of rigorous quantitative research remains a challenge for the consolidation of NLP as a scientific approach. The academic community calls for controlled, replicable experimental designs using standardized instruments. This methodological advancement is crucial for NLP to evolve from a set of applied techniques to a recognized scientific model of human development. 6. Correlational Study and Post-Training Results A correlational study conducted with 250 professionals from the technology and finance sectors in Brazil explored the relationship between emotional intelligence, NLP usage, and organizational performance. The results demonstrated that individuals with high scores on the EQ-i 2.0 — one of the primary tools for assessing EI — performed better in 360-degree evaluations and reported higher levels of job satisfaction. The statistical correlation (r = 0.62, p < 0.01) confirms the relevance of these constructs for professional performance. The participants were divided into two groups: one underwent integrated EI and NLP workshops, while the other maintained its usual routine. After the training, the experimental group showed significant improvement in indicators such as engagement, goal clarity, and emotional self-regulation. Additionally, there was a reduction in voluntary turnover and a decrease in absenteeism episodes, demonstrating the practical effects of the interventions. In the pre-training assessment, about 45% of participants reported ongoing difficulties in dealing with time pressures and meeting deadlines. After completing the program, this number dropped to 18%. Qualitative reports reinforced the quantitative data, indicating greater emotional control and improved interpersonal relationships as the main gains perceived by employees. These findings suggest that integrating EI and NLP programs could be a powerful strategy to boost both individual and collective outcomes. By investing in the development of emotional and communication skills, organizations strengthen their professionals' psychological health and enhance their ability to tackle the challenges of a volatile and competitive corporate environment. 7. Systematic Literature Review A systematic review published in 2022 in the International Journal of Workplace Health Management analyzed 47 studies on the impact of EI and NLP on organizational well-being. The conclusion was that structured EI programs are associated with improvements in indicators such as engagement, job satisfaction, and mental health. Regarding NLP, despite promising results, the studies exhibited methodological variability that limits generalizations. The main recommendation from the authors was to integrate these tools into continuous organizational development strategies, accompanied by evidence-based evaluations of effectiveness. 8. Final Considerations and Future Perspectives Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) represent complementary approaches in addressing human challenges in high-pressure corporate environments. EI provides a solid and increasingly scientifically supported foundation for the development of critical emotional competencies. While NLP, despite lacking methodological standardization, can be a strategic ally when applied with discernment, integrating into coaching and behavioral training programs. For organizations, investing in the development of these competencies is not merely a socio-emotional responsibility initiative but a strategy to increase competitiveness, innovation, and human sustainability. Corporate environments that cultivate emotional intelligence and provide tools for neuro-linguistic self-management tend to be more resilient, healthy, and productive.
