Abstract

The present investigation was undertaken on the Covid-19 patients afflicted with this Viral Pneumonia. The sample consisted of 150 patients. These patients were asked five questions (i) Do you perceive that this virus has resulted in anything positive? (ii) What are the causes and symptoms, which are responsible for your virus infection? (iii) List your goals and aspirations, which you would like to pursue, (iv) list your fears. (v) How did Yoga help to recover you from this Coronavirus disease? The free responses of the patients were analyzed. The patients had mentioned fifteen positive outcomes from this pessimistic situation. Maximum benefits reported were in the area of interpersonal relations like family support, emotional support etc. The findings were discussed in the light of coping with pandemic situations and well being. The future implications of these qualitative analyses to help develop a counseling module have been discussed.
