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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Sahaja Yoga meditation program (online, behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help teens reduce excessive internet use and feel better mentally.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 204 participants. Results may not apply to all teens, and the meditation program requires commitment to four sessions per week.
