Abstract

Mindfulness is the process of bringing one’s body functions, attention, feelings and content of consciousness to the experiences of the present. (Greeson, 2009). Mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress in order to improve quality of life along with many other benefits such as reducing blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and anger (Grossman, Niemann, Schmidt, Walach, 2004). We sought to substantiate these claims with EEG and blood pressure data.
