The medication classes organizer Bhawesh Khanal says his classes focus on breathing techniques to help practitioners control their thoughts.

“Meditation and all these techniques and such will help them to come back to their own nature, make them more relaxed, and come out of this trauma.”

The earthquake on Apri 25th has affected millions in Nepal.

THOUSANDS of people who lost relatives and homes have attended the 20-minute meditation sessions so far.

Including farmer Bhojbahadur Tameng whose village was completely destroyed.

“Two of my nieces died in this earthquake. After doing this meditation, I found a little bit of peace; felt a bit more at ease.”

Rescue helpers are also taking advantage of the mediation — just one way the Nepalese are coping with the destruction that’s hit their Himalayan nation.
