A brief meditation program (Vipassana, or Insight meditation) significantly reduced occupational stress among medical sales representatives in India. Over 21 days, participants showed a substantial drop in serum cortisol levels and changes in brainwave activity (alpha, beta, theta) measured by EEG, indicating lower stress and anxiety. The study demonstrates that a non-pharmacological, mindfulness-based intervention can improve emotional balance and reduce physiological markers of stress in a high-pressure work environment.
