Meditation Based Lifestyle Modification in Healthy Individuals

MBLM expands existing concepts of mind-body medicine with ethical and spiritual concepts from the traditional Patanjali yoga system, which can act as a coping factor on the one hand, and higher motivation and deepening of practice (physical yoga exercises / mantra Meditation). MBLM aims to establish an exercise routine in the daily lives of the participants, which leads to salutogenesis. The promotion of mental health through meditation and yoga has been well documented (Büssing et al., 2012, Sedlmeier, Ebert, \& Schwarz, 2012), also in clinical populations (Ospina et al., 2007). The preventive potential of the MBLM program will be examined for healthy volunteers, analogous to the already well-researched and widely used Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program.
