Many people start meditating for its benefits in stress reduction, and there is evidence to support this rationale. There's a whole new subgenre of meditation called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts's Center for Mindfulness, which aims to reduce a person's stress level, physically and mentally, says Sethi. “Studies have shown its benefits in reducing anxiety, even years after an initial eight-week course.
