College students who participated in an 8-week program of either meditation or guided imagery with progressive deep muscle relaxation showed decreases in chronic stress and increases in mental-health-related quality of life. These improvements were observed midway through the program and were maintained. The findings suggest that weekly mind-body classes can be a practical way for college students to reduce stress.
