Can Be Helpful: Shyness is often accompanied by anxiety and fearfulness, and meditation can certainly help you to stay calm and accomplish things you need to do. So, meditation can help to counter the effects of shyness. However, shyness is a relatively ingrained personality trait, so the word "cure" may be too strong. In any case, meditation and other calming exercises can be helpful.
