Abstract:

Mental stress may influence the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, and associate with the development of several chronic diseases. Mindfulness-based interventions, such as meditation, Yoga and Taiji Quan, are able to improve mental stress and ANS activity, which is probably related to its effects on the cortex to improve overall mental conditions and parasympathetic tone.

Key words: mindfulness, mental stress, autonomic nervous, meditation, Yoga, Taiji Quan, Qigong, review
