Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Meditation	Isha Kriya meditation is simple meditation practice which can be easily learned by employing online guided tools. Isha Kriya meditation requires approximately 12 minutes, twice a day of practice. This regimen was chosen because of its simplicity making it an excellent way to introduce meditation to beginners. Isha Kriya does not incorporate a spiritual or religious focus.
DEVICE	Enobio 32- EEG machine	This study utilizes the Enobio 32 EEG device made by Neuroelectrics (an FDA-cleared 24-bit EEG data reader which is a wearable wireless device) to analyze EEG changes after subjects have undergone meditation. This study does not evaluate the Enobio device, and the IRB of record approved an Investigational Device Exemption for this study.
