The goal of this research is to test whether certain areas of focus in breath meditation are connected with certain mental health outcomes. The main question to be addressed is whether attention placed on the breath in the belly versus the nostrils during meditation results in differences in subjective experience, respiration and heart rate. Participants will: - complete surveys - have heart rate and respiration measured - practice focused breathing Participants can expect the study visit to last for one hour.

Primary | Change in Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS-SF) | PANAS-SF is a 20-item questionnaire to assess positive versus negative affect. 10 of the items indicate positive affect, 10 indicate negative. Scores can range between 10-50 for positive affect, with higher scores representing higher levels of positive affect. Scores can range between 10-50 for negative affect, with lower scores representing lower levels of negative affect. | At baseline; after meditation 1 (5 minutes); and, after meditation 2 (15 minutes) | |
Primary | Change in Respiration | Using respiration belts, rate of respiration will be collected. Paired with heart rate, this will give us further insight into the physiological responses to the participant's experience of the two variations of breath meditation. | Baseline to practice 1 epoch (10 minutes); baseline 2 to practice 2 epoch (25minutes) | |
Primary | Change in Heart Rate | Using ECG electrodes and a BIOPAC system, heart rate will be monitored. Paired with respiration rate, this will give us further insight into the physiological responses to the participant's experience of the two variations of breath meditation. | Baseline to practice 1 epoch (10 minutes); baseline 2 to practice 2 epoch (25minutes) | |
Secondary | Perseverative Thinking (PTQ) | The PTQ is a 15-item questionnaire asking how participants typically think about negative experiences or problems. Scores can range from 0-60, with higher scores representing higher levels of perseverative thinking. | Baseline only | |
Secondary | Change in Interoceptive Awareness | The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) is a 37-item questionnaire that measures multiple dimensions of self-awareness. The Noticing, Attention Regulation and Self-regulation scales will be used. Scores range between from 0-20, 0-35 and 0-20, respectively, with higher scores represent higher interoceptive awareness. | At baseline; after meditation 1 (5 minutes); and, after meditation 2 (15 minutes) | |
Secondary | Change in Mindfulness | The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) is a 39-item questionnaire. The Non-react to inner experience and Act with awareness subscales will be used. Scores can range from 7-35 and 8-40, respectively; higher scores represent higher levels of mindfulness facet. | At baseline; after meditation 1 (5 minutes); and, after meditation 2 (15 minutes) | |
Secondary | Change in Relaxation | A research assistant or I will ask each participant to respond to the following statement: "In this moment I feel relaxed." Participants will select one of the following responses: strongly disagree, slightly disagree, neither agree nor disagree, slightly agree, strongly agree. | At baseline; after meditation 1 (5 minutes); and, after meditation 2 (15 minutes) | |
Secondary | Change in Focus | A research assistant or I will ask each participant to respond to the following statement: "In this moment I feel focused." Participants will select one of the following responses: strongly disagree, slightly disagree, neither agree nor disagree, slightly agree, strongly agree. | At baseline; after meditation 1 (5 minutes); and, after meditation 2 (15 minutes) |
