Preksha Meditation Research: The goal of this project is to assess impact of an 8 week course of Preksha Meditation (combination of Green color and buzzing sound meditation), in a group of college students to assess potential benefits to their pulmonary function, cognitive ability (immediate recall, attention), and happiness. The investigators will compare the data received from prior study to analyze their performance before and after. The investigators will also compare this data with control group data, to assess potential improvements as a benchmark. Analyse the EEG data to investigate its impact on brain. Further analyze their blood cells if they show any epigenetic changes. Data analysis team will be blinded for no identifiers are available. METHOD AND PROCEDURES: The data analysis will be undertaken by experts and will be blinded. The data currently is only de-identified. The data which is already collected from the research "Effect of Preksha Meditation (Green color and Buzzing Meditation) on Cognitive Abilities and Pulmonary Function in Students with a Control Group" will be analyzed. The data is related to students having practiced minimum 3 guided 25 minute sessions per week in a controlled environment. The control group did not meditate for those weeks when they enrolled in the program.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
