Abstract :

Background: Laziness and procrastination are common behavioural tendencies that negatively impact productivity, performance, and relationships. While they appear similar, they manifest differently. Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) is a non-invasive, integrative mind-body energy technique observed to be effective in both physical and mental health domains. 

 

Objective: To assess the effects of a YPV online group intervention on laziness and procrastination.

 

Methodology:

 

Study Design & Sample: A mixed-methods design (quantitative and qualitative data) was applied using convenience sampling. A cohort of 11 YPV healers jointly conducted a 30-day online group healing intervention for a sample of 100 adults aged 18–65 years (64 women, 36 men).

 

Assessment Tools: Likert-type questionnaires—the Laziness Questionnaire (LQ) and the Procrastination Questionnaire (PQ)—were used to measure parameters pre- and post-intervention. Qualitative feedback was analyzed using thematic analysis. 

 

Protocols Used: YPV Level 3 (Psychotherapy) with the intention to remove laziness and procrastination from chakras using brilliant violet, along with level 3 energizing and balancing protocols, conducted daily for 5 minutes over 30 days. 

 

Results:

 

Quantitative Outcomes: The laziness parameter showed a statistically significant reduction with a small effect (p = 0.031, Cohen’s d = -0.18). The procrastination parameter showed a statistically significant reduction with a small-to-medium effect (p = 0.002, Cohen’s d = -0.31). 


Qualitative Outcomes: Direct outcomes reported included reduced laziness, improved task initiation, and better time management. Indirect outcomes included enhanced focus, emotional stability, improved sleep, confidence, health, relationships, and personal growth. 

 

Conclusion: Both constructs showed expected positive results. The 30-day online intervention was manageable, and the insights gained are valuable for future studies with larger sample sizes.
