A structured nine-month meditation program, the 3 Doors Compassion Project (3DCP), which teaches Tibetan mind-body practices, was associated with significant improvements in mindfulness, stress, and depression among twenty-seven medical and mental health professionals. Improvements occurred incrementally each month. The frequency of meditation practice (days per month), but not the total time spent meditating (minutes per month), was significantly linked to these improvements. This suggests that consistent, regular meditation may be more beneficial than longer, less frequent sessions.
