About

Youth is a crucial time of life when physical and mental well-being is critical. Students are vulnerable due to academic and pandemic stresses. Meditation research has been showing effects on improved parameters of mental health (sleep quality, attention, memory, and concentration), emotional wellbeing (reduced stress and anxiety), and physiological parameters (better metabolism, circulation, immunity, etc.), which influence the life and academic performance of students. This study is designed to examine the feasibility of conducting a meditation intervention among students of a small liberal arts university in Pakistan. Future larger and longer randomized controlled clinical trials on high-risk youth may be planned at a later stage to see the impact on academic performance and career progression.
