In Conversation with Ashok Gupta on the Coronavirus Challenge, Meditation & Healing

During this period of lockdowns, viruses and huge amount of uncertainty, I noticed a lot of fear, anxiety and stress within myself, my loved ones and many more around me. 

Tazeen.TV is a space, dedicated to spirituality, healing and growth and I have been experimenting with some high tech products for boosting immunity and my own energy management (more about these later). 

One course that is having a radical impact in dealing with Coronovirus is The Coronovirus Challenge: https://www.thecoronaviruschallenge.com. It was developed to help strengthen the immune system, reduce anxiety and help defend yourself against the virus. Some of the tools in this program have been scientifically shown to reduce the chances of being infected by up to 80%, and if you do develop an infection, to halve the days with symptoms.

The pioneer of this programme is Ashok Gupta. Ashok has dedicated his life to improving people’s well-being and helping them achieve their potential. He has been teaching meditation around the world for over 15years. Through his global e-clinic the Gupta Programme, he treats and supports thousands who struggle with conditions such as ME, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. Ashok has spent many years researching the brain neurology of emotion and linking well-being tools with science. He has published medical papers on the basis of stress-related illnesses. Finally, his latest work “the meaning of life tv” was developed to support transformation in others. It aims to transform the individual, the community and the world!
