As mindfulness meditation and yoga have become mainstream and more extensively studied, growing evidence suggests multiple psychological and physical benefits of these mindfulness exercises, as well as for similar practices like tai chi and qi gong.

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses analyzing hundreds of research studies suggest that mindfulness-based interventions help decrease anxiety, depression, stress, and pain, and help improve general health, mental health, and quality of life. These practices also appear to reduce inflammation and increase immune response.

Trade in your luggage for yoga pants.

    Sitting crosslegged and chanting Na myoho arenge ku with eyes closed worked for some of the characters on old TV police shows.

    They were the ones who did the deed, of course.

    So why should it work better (for a non-Indian) if you say it in Hindi than if you say it in your own language?
