        abstract = {The word stress has its origin in Latin words “strictus” meaning tight or narrow. The root word reflects the internal feelings of tightness and contraction of the muscles and breathing. Stress is a common condition, a response to a physical threat or psychological distress that generates a host of chemical and hormonal reactions in the body. In essence, the body prepares to fight or flee, pumping more blood to the heart and muscles and shutting down all nonessential functions. As a temporary state, this reaction serves the body well to defend itself. When the stress reaction is prolonged, however, the normal physical functions that have in response either been exaggerated or shut down become dysfunctional. Meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to achieve a heightened state of awareness, focus, and inner calm. It is not confined to any specific religious or cultural context but is rather a universal technique that has evolved over centuries. Meditation encompasses a diverse array of methods, from mindfulness meditation, which emphasizes present-moment awareness, to loving-kindness meditation, focused on cultivating compassion. One of the strengths of meditation is its accessibility. It requires no elaborate equipment or specific physical abilities, making it a practice that can be embraced by people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether in the form of guided sessions, Smart phone apps, or community classes, meditation has become increasingly available, allowing individuals to explore and incorporate it into their lives with ease.The purpose of this study is to assess how meditation helps in working corporate sector employees to manage their stress. This study aims to ascertain whether meditation may be a practical way to reduce workplace stress and improve the wellbeing of corporate employees by putting and 4-week meditation intervention into action. Individuals deal with occupational stress in different ways, and the coping methods they choose can influence their job performance. In modern workplaces, many organizations introduce relaxation techniques and wellness programs to improve employees’ well-being. To examine how relaxation interventions affect both perceived and physiological stress as well as task performance, this study included a 30-minute intervention within a 2-hour work simulation. Perceived stress levels were measured before and after the intervention, while physiological stress indicators were recorded before, during, and after the intervention. The results indicated that a single 30-minute session of mindfulness meditation may not be sufficient to significantly reduce stress or improve work performance. Objective To assess the level of stress among corporate employees. To find out impact of meditation interventional therapy on level of stress Among corporate sector employees to find out the association between level of stress of corporate employees with selected demographic variable with meditation interventional therapy.
Methodlogy The present study is aimed to assess the impact of meditation therapy on stress among corporate sector employees. A quantivative research approach with quasi experimental Pre and Post test study approach .one group pretest posttest. 01 and 02 the knowledge before and after the intervention of guided meditation therapy. the population consist all corporate employee of selected corporate office age from 18 to 55 years of age and present on the time of data collection and intervention accessible population is corporate employees in a selected corporate office. probability sampling technique, namely simple random sampling technique.

Along with the tool, a request letter, statement of as per expert's opinion on the clarity and appropriateness of the item. initially had ten items.Reliability of tool is calculated by using cronbach’s alpha method, which measures the internal consistency of the tool. reliability coefficient obtained is 0.745 which indicate the tool is reliable. Result The stress scores ranged from a minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 30, and the overall mean post-test stress score was 19.8286 ± 6.5584, indicating a substantial reduction in stress levels following the intervention. Mean stress score of subjects was 19.8286 ±6. 5584.The comparison of pre-test and post-test stress levels revealed a significant reduction in stress scores following the intervention. The mean pre-test stress score was 32.7429 ± 6.90240 among 70 participants, whereas the mean post-test stress score decreased to 19.8286 ± 6.55848 in the same group. The paired t-test value was 12.549 with 69 degrees of freedom, and the difference was found to be highly statistically significant (P < 0.001)},
