Study Finds Meditation Can Reduce Trauma Symptoms for Inmates

MADINAMERICA.COM|BY MARTA PAGÁN-ORTIZ
Researchers found that Transcendental Meditation could significantly decrease anxiety and depression, among others symptoms.

A new study published in The Permanente Journal presents findings of a four-month long randomized trial, which investigated the effects of a Transcendental Meditation (TM) stress-reduction program on trauma symptoms and associated factors within a male inmate population. This is the first published study evaluating TM in prison inmates, and the researchers found the program significantly reduced trauma symptoms: anxiety, depression, dissociation, and sleep disturbance, as well as perceived stress.

“To our knowledge, this is the largest randomized controlled trial to date of the effects of the TM program on trauma symptoms…” the researchers wrote.

We are the distracted generations, wasting hours a day checking irrelevant emails and intrusive social media accounts.

And this “always on” culture – exacerbated by the smartphone – is actually making us more stressed and less productive, according to some reports.

“Something like 40% of people wake up, and the first thing they do is check their email,” says Professor Sir Cary Cooper of Manchester Business School, who has studied e-mail and workplace stress.

“For another 40%, it’s the last thing they do at night.”
