Sixty people were asked to participate in a kirtan kriya meditation program or a music listening program consisting of 12 minutes per day for three months, followed by a further three months of participating in the program when they wanted to.
After the first three months, both groups showed a significant improvement in cognitive and memory performance, by six months the improvements were either maintained or enhanced. The areas where they showed improvement were areas typically associated with the onset of dementia. Read more about this study here.Â
