详细描述
Preksha Meditation Research: The goal of this project is to assess impact of an 8 week course of Preksha Meditation (combination of Green color and buzzing sound meditation), in a group of college students to assess potential benefits to their pulmonary function, cognitive ability (immediate recall, attention), and happiness. The investigators will compare the data received from prior study to analyze their performance before and after. The investigators will also compare this data with control group data, to assess potential improvements as a benchmark. Analyse the EEG data to investigate its impact on brain. Further analyze their blood cells if they show any epigenetic changes. Data analysis team will be blinded for no identifiers are available.
METHOD AND PROCEDURES:
The data analysis will be undertaken by experts and will be blinded. The data currently is only de-identified.
The data which is already collected from the research "Effect of Preksha Meditation (Green color and Buzzing Meditation) on Cognitive Abilities and Pulmonary Function in Students with a Control Group" will be analyzed. The data is related to students having practiced minimum 3 guided 25 minute sessions per week in a controlled environment. The control group did not meditate for those weeks when they enrolled in the program.
The intervention the subjects received was as follows:
