We live in a constantly changing, rapidly developing world today. And while that might be great for the consumer, it's not always good news for the individual and their safety. But there are still ways you can stay protected, even in potentially unsafe situations. Psychology is more than just "life advice" you've heard your parents give you when they were trying to teach you right from wrong. Psychology is actually much more complex than that in part because it becomes so much more about things like the psychology of personality, human behavior, and emotion, the need for social interaction and communication skills, what drives people to criminal activity and violent behavior, relationship dynamics, etc.
The "father of modern psychology" is regarded as Wilhelm Wundt (Boring, 1950). He created a psychological laboratory at Leipzig University in 1879, which is credited with establishing psychology as an "independent, experimental science." He played a key role in developing the experimental technique as a way to examine the workings of the human mind. In order to investigate the nature of human awareness, he carried out organized experiments.
Wundt was aware of the limits of the experimental approach, though. He thought it was useful for researching basic sensory processes but unsuited for looking into psychological problems influenced by linguistic and cultural factors (Danziger, 1979). Wundt noted that language, tradition, and myth all have a significant influence on how we think. These are the main issues Volkerpsychologie is concerned with (translated as "cultural psychology" or "ethnopsychology"; Danziger, 1979). In the final years of his life, he committed himself to research societal influences on human development. He published Volkerpsychologie in ten volumes (1910-1920). Wundt believed that psychology belonged to the tradition of Geisteswissenschaften (culture science), not the tradition of Naturwissenschaften (natural science).
Indigenous psychologies stand for the Wundtian heritage of cultural science, whereas contemporary psychology stands for the tradition of natural science. Modern psychology embraced an experimental methodology and prioritized the heritage of the scientific sciences above the history of the social sciences (Danziger, 1979; Koch & Leary, 1985). Since Wundt outlined the drawbacks of the experimental method and the natural science perspective, he should not be regarded as the "founder of contemporary psychology."
'The scientific study of human behavior or mind that is native, that is not brought from other locations, and that is developed for its people is one definition of Indigenous psychology that is frequently used (Kim & Berry, 1993).
Indigenous psychology is a strong kind of resistive psychology. The restoration of the biophilic force of Indigenous people and their lands depends on theorizing and resisting the psycho politics of neo-colonial oppression and control, as the founder of Indigenous psychology Franz Fanon argued so powerfully and eloquently, by de-territorializing the incapacitating "double consciousness" of the colonized.

In its most basic form, meditation is the everyday practice of developing and harboring happy feelings in one's life. Over the past ten years, several research on meditation's effects on the human body has been undertaken. Meditation has frequently been likened to sports, with the idea that with practice, one may improve their ability to meditate. Research has demonstrated that meditation has a major impact on the human body, notably the brain, with unequivocal favorable results from fMRI and EEG. In many religious and cultural texts, meditation is referenced. This is especially true in areas where the monastic lifestyle is predominated. However, today, rather than being a component of the monastic lifestyle, meditation is seen as a crucial component of many western mindfulness programs.
Around the indigenous idea of mindfulness, also known as pali sat and Sanskrit smriti, several treatments have been created. By definition, mindfulness is the process of giving one's undivided attention—in a non-judgmental way—to the current environment for a brief period of time. The ability to self-regulate one's attention is the primary prerequisite for achieving mindfulness. Individuals who can self-regulate their attention can recognize mental events as they happen. Keeping one's mind open to inquiry, acceptance, and openness is the second need for achieving mindfulness. People must prepare their brains to accept the current reality.
Yoga is regarded as a sort of physical exercise in contemporary society. But in accordance with customs and history, this multifaceted discipline entails a range of physical postures and exercises in addition to a number of breath control and mindfulness-enhancement practices. Additionally, yoga and the majority of postures used in the discipline have a strong psychological component. Yoga's original intent, according to historical accounts, was to help people develop spiritual consciousness and mindfulness. Indigenous peoples engaged in this discipline to achieve optimal psychophysiological health and bodily performance. Studies and studies have demonstrated that regular yoga practice reduces stress, regulates emotions, elevates mood, and enhances general mental health.
Native psychology is useful and is gradually catching up to western psychology. Indigenous therapies like yoga and meditation are crucial for people all across the world, despite not receiving the same attention as western therapies. As more psychologists use yoga therapy to treat their patient’s psychological issues, it is gaining popularity daily.
