As new year's resolutions are being acted on, our NIH-funded research study is evaluating the effects of a mindfulness-based intervention customized for blood pressure reduction. Preliminary findings are promising with marked reductions in systolic blood pressure after 1 year follow-up in participants with hypertension. People with blood pressure greater than 120/80 mmHg are eligible.
