According to the study, Sahaj Samadhi meditation can often reduce patients’ need for pharmaceuticals or even put them into remission.

Sahaj Samadhi is a Sanskrit term meaning “effortless meditation.” It involves two 20-minute meditation sessions a day.

Researchers had 83 seniors practise Sahaj Samadhi for 20 minutes a day for three months to see if it could ease their symptoms of anxiety or depression.

“The symptoms of depression improved tremendously,” Dr. Akshya Vasudev, an associate scientist at Lawson Health Research Institute in London, Ont., and the geriatric psychiatrist who headed the study, told CTV News.

“Your chances of getting into remission were three times higher with meditation compared to if you continued with the usual treatment plan.”

Vasudev said some of his patients who participated in the study reported their symptoms easing by up to 50 percent after four to six weeks of the meditation. Others went into remission and were able to be taken off of medication entirely.

That’s what happened to 72-year-old Jan de Groot, who says Sahaj Samadhi helped put her severe depression into remission.

“It makes you stay in that place, and eventually you get to the point where there’s nothing around you; you’re in a beautiful spot,” she said.

Depression can be particularly hard to treat in seniors because medications might not work as well or might cause more pronounced side effects than they do in younger people.

Vasudev describes Sahaj Samadhi as a relatively standard and simple form of meditation, able to be taught by a trained practitioner in about six hours.

Sudarshan Kriya is a simple yet powerful rhythmic breathing technique that de-stresses, and cleanses at the cellular level, and effectively draws you into a deep state of meditation.

Sudarshan Kriya and accompanying breathing practices, referred to collectively as SKY and taught through the Art of Living programs, have been found to enhance brain, hormone, immune and cardiovascular system function. Published research shows SKY significantly reduces stress, depression, anxiety and PTSD, and increases well-being both mentally and physically. Research also demonstrates that the effects of SKY reach all the way down to the molecular level, to our DNA.
