One of the efforts that can be done is to provide the community with self-healing, one of which is by introducing the sitting meditation method to the community. Mental health disorders can occur due to negative thoughts and emotions that trigger cycles of thoughts and feelings. The sitting meditation method is believed to aim to increase sensitivity to the present state, which consists of several activities such as concentration, and relaxation by balancing logical or rational thinking with empathy which tends to be feeling based and practicing mindfulness with an observative attitude. This sitting mediation method, if practiced regularly, will naturally produce a state of calm, clarity and happiness.
