Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

SOS Meditation

Focused-attention meditation technique will be used to train participants, specifically the SOS meditation technique. The SOS meditation technique is an easy-to-learn approach where participants are instructed to dissociate their attention from physical awareness, thoughts, and emotions by mentally slowly repeating a calming word or phrase (chosen by the participant themselves). SOS Meditation Instructions: * Close your eyes very gently, in a relaxed way, as you do when we go to sleep * Your attention should be fully alert. Try not to put any strain on your eyes or try to look up. * Focus your eyes about eight to ten inches into the field of darkness in front of you on the horizontal plane * Mentally repeat the (chosen) calming word * Sit lovingly and calmly to see what comes up, as if you were watching a movie screen and waiting to see what appears on it.
