Quick meditation reduces stress, boosts attention

It's no surprise to hear that meditation can reduce stress if performed religiously, but how long does it take for the good results to show up?

How about a week? New research performed on Chinese college students showed that in less than one week, mind-body meditation training produced not only each students' state of mind, but stress levels. College is not stressful, right? Heh, just the opposite.

Can you spare 10 to 15 minutes out of your day to close your eyes and meditate? You can, if you choose. Directly after work, in the morning or even at lunch make good times. Just find a quiet corner and let it be all your own.
