Abstract in brief

  • Meditation and mindfulness practices, especially evidence-based ones like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), can help reduce anxiety, depression, and pain for healthcare workers, patients, and everyone affected during crises like COVID-19.
  • Research shows these practices can cause physical changes in the brain, improving mental health over time, and are effective across different age groups and abilities.
  • Incorporating mindfulness and meditation during the pandemic is a low-cost way to support mental well-being and can complement other treatments to manage anxiety and stress.]

Consider a mindfulness meditation practice to support yourself. The research is clear that mindfulness-based stress reduction helps reduce stress and anxiety in times of crisis, like a pandemic. https://t.co/hSCz5lusjZ https://t.co/2NR3nzYInI

An antidose to hate is compassion. Acoording to https://t.co/CSFbngZsD6, she recommends to spread compassion to those you hate. I see her point. But it also got me to think that what if one suffered to death by those whom they hate and seem to be indifferent in what being done.
