A Naturalistic, Longitudinal, Observational Study of Associations Between Frequency of Orgasmic Meditation Practice, Occurrence of Female Physiological Orgasm and Sleep Quality
The primary purpose of this study is to use an observational design to examine whether the practice of orgasmic meditation (OM) is associated with app-based measures of sleep quality. A secondary purpose of this study is to examine whether the occurrence of physiological orgasm during OM practice is associated with app-based measures of sleep quality. It is hypothesized that the practice of OM will have a positive impact on sleep quality.

Study of the Longitudinal Changes in Perception and Cognition Occurring During a Meditation Retreat
This study aims at assessing neuro-behavioral changes occuring during an intensive ten days meditation retreat. The investigator will study changes in tactile, auditory and pain perceptions as well as changes in cognitive and affective mental contents and their neural markers, as measured by self-reports, EEG event-related potentials, and functional connectivity of resting state fMRI. He will recruit healthy participants with a prior meditation experience. They will be randomly assigned to two groups, one active group who will undergo measurements just before, during and 3 weeks after the retreat. The other group will serve of control for task habituation, control participants will undergo the same measurements, equally spaced in time, but before the retreat. The main hypothesis is that meditation training strengthens meta-awareness, attention capacities resulting in enhanced bodily- and self-awareness during sensory perception and emotion regulation during pain.

Effectiveness of Guided Imagery Meditation in Patients With Laparoscopic Gallstone Surgery
Guided image meditation has been shown to alter the functional circuits of the brain to alleviate pain by mediating breathing and thoughts. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether the intervention with guided image meditation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy can effectively alleviate postoperative pain, reduce anxiety, promote sleep quality, and increase pain control satisfaction for the patients with gallstones.

Meditation and Yoga for Heightened Anxiety Related to COVID-19
This randomized clinical on-line study examines whether whether a daily practice of meditation or Kundalini Yoga with anxiety reduction training leads to a greater reduction in anxiety than anxiety reduction training alone.

Mindfulness Takes Practice: mHealth Tools for Building Persistent Mindfulness Meditation Habits
The purpose of the study is to optimize the delivery of mHealth tools to support the formation of persistent mindfulness meditation routines. Aim 1: Identify the efficacy of the anchoring strategy on the persistence of daily meditation practice. H1: Persistence (measured through repeated observations of panel regression models of the daily likelihood of mindfulness mediation over the 16-week follow-up period) will be greater among AG as compared to CG. Aim 2: Determine participant phenotypes that are (a) associated with successfully anchoring daily meditation or (b) likely to need additional supports. Potential moderators of the anchoring strategy's success include participants' daily schedule, type of work, household composition, motivation, time and risk preferences, and prior exposure to mindfulness, which will be analyzed in the panel regression model framework above. Aim 3: Determine the optimal type, timing, and sequence of push notifications for encouraging daily mindfulness meditation within and across study groups. The efficacy of each push notification type (tracking sessions completed, reminders, mood symptom tracking, and group-specific goal reminders), timing, and dynamics on the anchoring of daily meditation will inform a subsequent, just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI). Impact: This study will inform an optimal JITAI R01 proposal that will personalize the type and temporal dynamics of app-based daily supports for successfully routinizing daily meditation, and determine its effects on mental health, specifically PTSD. Lifetime prevalence of PTSD is 7% in adults and meditation is known to reduce PTSD. If effective

Can a Mindfulness Meditation App Reduce Emotional Distress in Colorectal Cancer Patients Undergoing Adjuvant Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a common strategy used to treat colorectal cancer patients, but is often leads patients and survivors to experience a host of symptoms, of which acute emotional distress is a major concern. Smartphone-based meditation via an already-developed app (i.e., Calm) is a unique and novel way of providing a potentially helpful symptom-management strategy to colorectal cancer patients and survivors both during their chemotherapy treatment sessions for the management of distress and between treatment sessions for the management of other more chronic symptoms. Our hypothesis is that colorectal cancer patients using the Calm smartphone app throughout their chemotherapy treatment will see lower psychological distress during individual chemotherapy treatment sessions, greater chemotherapy tolerability, lower chemotherapy toxicity symptoms, lesser fatigue, and higher quality of life as compared to a usual care control group. Colorectal cancer patients (N=30) will be randomly assigned to an intervention (n=15) or control group (n=15) for the duration of their chemotherapy treatment, with study outcome measurement occurring throughout their treatment.
