• A Harvard study showed that meditation has a positive effect on the amygdala, the area of the brain associated with emotional processing. Link

• At UCLA, researchers found that long-term meditation practitioners have a more developed brain, with more connections between neurons and increased "gyrification," which improves the speed of information processing. Link

• The research program at Harvard also explores the effects of meditation on the treatment of mental disorders and on overall well-being. Link

• Meditation study shows changes related to consciousness and stress. Participating in a meditation program appears to bring about measurable changes in the brain regions associated with memory, a sense of autonomy, empathy, and stress. Link

• For breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy, pranayama and deep-breathing exercises helped reduce fatigue and improve sleep quality, providing a non-pharmacological approach to alleviating these common symptoms during treatment (ONS). Link

• In a study published in BMC Sports Science, short breathing exercises were shown to improve recovery in patients with COVID-19—particularly in terms of breathing and lung health—when incorporated into their treatment. Link

• Frontiers investigated the effects of diaphragmatic breathing exercises on sedentary adults at risk of developing low back pain and demonstrated their potential to restore spinal mobility and stability. Link

• "Systematic Reviews" aims to evaluate the effect of active visual art therapy on quality of life, anxiety, depression, pain, and other specific outcomes. The study considers both short- and long-term variables, as well as the relationship between dosage and intensity of therapy, to better understand its effectiveness in different clinical contexts.

• A study published in *BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies* found that art therapy improves quality of life and reduces psychosomatic symptoms in adults with cancer. Patients who received art therapy sessions—both group and individual—experienced significant improvements in their emotional well-being, with reductions in anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Link
