Abstract
In recent years, people's lives have changed dramatically due to COVID-19, and in many places people have been forced to stay at home, keep social distance from friends, or be forcibly quarantined in order to comply with outbreak control policies. This has made anxiety a psychological problem that people have to deal with. However, many people have little knowledge of the causes of anxiety or how to deal with it, which makes it difficult to deal with excessive anxiety or anxiety disorders. This paper examines the many factors that contribute to anxiety, and how meditation can biologically alter the brain and various systems in order to reduce anxiety. This paper may provide some information about the causes of anxiety and offers a possible way to deal with it.
