Meditation shows promising results for enhancing awareness, connection, and insight in older adults

New research published in PLOS One suggests that meditation may enhance certain aspects of psychological well-being in older adults.

The study, which is the longest randomized meditation trial to date, suggests that specific meditation practices can improve awareness and insight, although the impact on overall psychological well-being is more nuanced.

The study stemmed from a growing awareness of the challenges faced by an ageing population in today’s rapidly evolving society.
