❓ What insights can Hindu meditation techniques offer modern mental health practices?

Hindu meditation techniques provide evidence-based approaches for mental wellness that complement modern psychology. The Bhagavad Gita (6.20-23) describes meditation practices that neuroscience now confirms can reduce stress and improve cognitive function.

Traditional practices like dharana (focused concentration) and dhyana (sustained meditation) have been adapted into contemporary mindfulness protocols. Research shows these techniques can help with anxiety, depression, and attention disorders.

Clinical Applications:

• Stress reduction through pranayama breathing
• Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy
