Summary
This study tested whether a 6-week online Sahaja Yoga meditation program could help teenagers aged 12-18 reduce problematic internet use and improve their mental well-being. 204 participants were randomly assigned to either the meditation group or a waitlist. The meditation sessions were guided online four times per week. Researchers measured changes in internet use, well-being, self-esteem, and distress using questionnaires before and after the program.
