A single 20-25-minute Heartfulness meditation session with yogic transmission produced immediate physiological and psychological benefits for first-year MBBS students. Nearly 90% of students experienced deep relaxation, and pulse and respiratory rates showed significant reductions. The study was conducted across five cohorts at GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, in response to the Indian National Medical Commission's integration of yoga and meditation into the Foundation Course to promote resilience and holistic growth during the stressful transition from school to medical college.
