This World Mental Health Day is the perfect time to bust a long–standing myth: meditation takes a long time. | | | Most people believe meditation requires hours of silence, stillness, and retreat from daily life. | | | But science shows otherwise. Even short practices of just 7 minutes can boost your mental and physical health: | | | - Studies show even a short 7–minute meditation can reduce stress and boost focus [Sun et al., 2024].
- Meditation activates your parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) – the body’s “rest–and–digest” mode. This slows your heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and relaxes muscles [UC Davis, 2013].
- “Practices that bring your awareness to the present moment can help interrupt the cycle of anxious thoughts and activate the PSNS. Even short guided meditations can make a difference,” says Dr. Mitchell, Doctor of Behavioral Health (DBH) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).
| | | And when guided by Sadhguru, those 7 minutes become something more – a doorway into your mind’s miraculous possibilities. | | | Every day, while waiting in traffic, in queues, for food to arrive or for meetings to begin, most people fill this time with restless scrolling or irritation. What if you meditated instead? | | | With the Miracle of Mind app, you can: | | | - Meditate anywhere, anytime
- Transform the experience of waiting
- Live consciously and vibrantly
| | | Let every pause move you inward. | | | If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us on support link. | | | Your mind’s biggest fan,
