Therapeutic potential of Zen Buddhism and its practice in the Post-Anxiety Era
Cхід September 18, 2025 Oleksandr Donets
Zen Buddhist practices, including meditation, mindfulness, and acceptance of life's variability, reduce anxiety by fostering awareness and inner peace. Zazen meditation improves emotional resilience, reduces stress, and encourages acceptance of uncertainty. Programs like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) show significant benefits for anxiety symptoms, though effectiveness varies with individual commitment and cultural adaptability. Evidence indicates improvements in neurophysiological activity and psychoemotional wellbeing. Zen Buddhism offers a holistic framework that complements conventional therapy, providing tools for managing anxiety in a fast-paced world.
