In this excerpt from his thesis, Dr Ramesh Manocha summarises a study he carried out examining whether a form of meditation could help children diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

“A controlled study of children with ADHD who were taught Sahaja Yoga Meditation as an adjunct to their normal management for 6 weeks generated an average of 35% improvement compared to a waiting list control. Several children were able to reduce or even eliminate their need for stimulant medication. The results were again promising but the lack of randomization and other issues limited the generality of the findings.”
