FAQ
Common questions
Is meditation supported by science?
Yes. Meditation, including guided formats, has one of the largest evidence bases in mind-body research: reviews report meaningful reductions in stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, with smaller effects on attention and sleep. Guidance helps beginners engage. Benefits accrue with regular practice and complement rather than replace clinical care.
