This is neat- some alumni from AKU-ISMC have set up an Urdu-English meditation platform to help people cope with the crisis of uncertainty and lockdown. We make a big deal about training future leaders in AKU-ISMC and sometimes that means people who have obvious positions of authority, like politicians, diplomats, scholars or entrepreneurs, but sometimes it means taking a lead in more personal capacities to try and make things better for others. I'm truly impressed and humbled by Tehmina Mansoor and Zohaib Zuby. They are definitely demonstrating the kind of leadership that makes me proud to be part of AKU.

Bravo for doing this! The fact that most people shy away from even talking about psychological issues and consider it taboo is sad. Too many of us deal with this and I feel this initiative provides a platform to discuss and manage such issues. The content helps one realize that they're not the only one dealing with stuff and there is a way to feel better!

Hi team Bekhudi. Your mediation videos are so peaceful, I absolutely LOVE them. What makes them more amazing is the fact that you have taken the extra effort to actually make them accessible to the general public by translating them into Urdu.  I have shared your videos a lot tbh. Basically, as part of the company’s COVID response, I was running WhatsApp based support groups for health workers who are not that comfortable with English. It was really difficult to search for accessible resources for them to provide psycho-social support. I searched so many pages but hardly found resources in Urdu.  That’s when I got an opportunity to really share your content and they loved it!

The pacing of narration and music have been composed to perfection. Its amazing to see that attention to detail. Definitely translates into a truly calming meditation experience! Better than anything I have heard on any other forum, including Calm and Headspace! So proud to see the maturity of this homegrown initiative in Pakistan!

It’s a very productive forum for understanding and practicing mindfulness. Meditation is the easiest way we can practice to get rid of all those sticky and unwanted thoughts which lower our abilities to perform our best. Be-Khudi understands this and is proactive in helping people live a more productive and meaningful life only by changing the way we think and changing the way we breathe I find all the sessions on this forum very efficacious and result oriented.

Bekhudi has been an eye-opener for me. It has allowed me to be more aware of my emotions and surroundings and therefore I’ve been able to stay calmer in stressful situations. Although I have always heard about the benefits of mindfulness and have practiced mindfulness previously, Bekhudi has provided me with the resources and skills to practice mindfulness regularly and apply it. I’d recommend Bekhudi to anyone who wants to learn more about mindfulness as it is where you can be at peace and ease with your life.

I have shared your meditation links with so many of my clients and it's such a big help since it's hard to do meditation online. I usually do it in my clinic setting but your meditation resources have been a godsend literally. They're very nicely expressed and simple to follow. Especially works great for my older clients who mostly converse in Urdu so thank you.

Just wanted to tell you that my mom absolutely loves your mindfulness videos and especially your delivery. She is one who has never really been accepting of any meditation practice and finds them extremely hard to follow but yours is a super-duper hit! So proud of your work!

For a while, I really wanted to appreciate and thank you guys for the 'be-khudi' videos on YouTube. I find them extremely calming and relaxing. It's just wonderful the work that is being produced. Thank you so much!
