AI-extracted from the abstract| Characteristics | Observational cohort |
|---|---|
| Population | Participants in Timeless Wisdom Training |
| Interventions | Trauma processing Meditation |
| Duration | 1.6 years |
| Topics | Meditation |
| Key findings | Participation in the 1.6-year Timeless Wisdom Training was associated with changes in DNA methylation, suggesting that trauma processing and meditation may influence epigenetic patterns. The authors propose these alterations may reflect biological effects of the intervention, though further research is needed to determine their functional significance. |
