FEMINA MISS INDIA PAGEANT
By training and culturing the Miss India 2003 contestants, Mickey Mehta has completed a ten-year mutually satisfying association with the brand. When he first started his association he was a one-man team concentrating primarily on fitness in terms of catering to the contestants and their needs.
The whole training program is conceptualized and conducted with a holistic approach integrating the holy trinity of the body, mind and soul; physical transformation with military regimental equipment-free training techniques, where every single part of the musculo-skeletal structure is stimulated, stretched, contracted and challenged with regulated breathing, thus addressing it in totality.
MMHBF covers physical fitness, mental well-being, nutrition, grooming and psychotherapy and developing spiritual awareness and consciousness. The whole training program is conceptualized and conducted with a holistic approach integrating the holy trinity of the body, mind and soul; physical transformation with military regimental equipment-free training techniques, where every single part of the musculo-skeletal structure is stimulated, stretched, contracted and challenged with regulated breathing, thus addressing it in totality. Fitness This aspect comprises warm-ups, agility and flexibility drills, calisthenics, boot-camp workouts, therapeutic yoga, swimming, aqua aerobics, self-defense techniques to combat eve-teasing and frenzied mob management. Mind & Spirit Various types of meditation and prayers to delve deep inside and realize the spiritual being inside for bringing out a soft, sensitive, compassionate, benevolent and philanthropic personality, which is true inner beauty enhancement and heightening of perceptions. The true Femina Miss India "Woman of Substance" has the quality of sharing and caring with integrity with a sense of comradeship and sisterhood, thereby bringing out the inner beauty. So along with strength, stamina, tone and conditioning on the outside gross level, there is also transcendence and metamorphosis at the subtle level to deliver a superfine human being. Grooming This targets the finer aspects of being a "Woman of Substance" like styling, etiquettes, mannerisms, conduct, body language & basic finishing Therapeutic Nutrition & Dietetics Natural nutrition, which envisages the formulation of a wholesome diet programs to keep the contenders in "the pink of health". This is supplemented by a dose of cosmic nutrition, i.e. absorbing the natural elements, eg. Sunlight, natural fragrances like flowers, plants, mud, etc, deep breathing to heighten perceptions, composure and to integrated the mind, body soul faculties making oneself a whole some human being. Psychotherapy On the mind, a lot of psychological and emotional junk clearing (anxieties, phobias and resentments, insecurities, detests and unreasonable ambition drive and lust for materialism) initiatives is done through orchestration of breathing, soothing, calming and centering of the mind through visuals, primordial sounds, fragrances and other subtle experiences. Discourses at the end of the sessions along with prayers and chanting for recharging energies building self-confidence, self-esteem, vibrance and radiance to make winners with a difference in every walk of life. These lifestyle-transforming therapies would also be instrumental in making the contestants courageous, real personalities to be natural and speak their heart, ability to assess situations and meet them with appropriate spontaneous intuitive response. The main advantage however is metamorphosis into proactive nature, which would be suitable for taking up leadership positions. Take away making winners in all walks of life and making winners of sorts and transforming lives and lifestyles.
