Brief (13m) daily meditation improves emotional regulation- mood & cortisol levels
“8 weeks of brief, daily meditation decreased negative mood state and enhanced attention, working memory, and recognition memory as well as decreased state anxiety”
“a 13-min daily guided meditation program”
“meditation-induced changes in emotional regulation are more strongly linked to improved affective state than improved cognition.”
“This study not only suggests a lower limit for the duration of brief daily meditation needed to see significant benefits in non-experienced meditators, but suggests that even relatively short daily meditation practice can have similar behavioral effects as longer duration and higher-intensity mediation practices.”
“mood, prefrontal and hippocampal functioning, baseline cortisol levels, and emotional regulation” all affected.
