“…Based on Buddhist philosophy, the participants were educated in a group where numerous desires were the cause for distress, enabling them to understand the concept of ‘no pain, no gain’ (Sreevani et al . ). Emotional management : In session 2, participants understood the effect of emotions on health and ways to manage their negative emotions. The participants practiced hand massage acupressure exercises to relieve anxiety.…”

Summary Sleep disturbances and depressive symptoms are associated closely with daytime dysfunctions, yet few studies have investigated their temporal relationship in a randomized controlled trial. We investigated the inter‐relationships among sleep, depressive symptoms and daytime functioning following an integrative body–mind–spirit (I‐BMS) intervention. One hundred and eighty‐five participants (mean age 55.28 years, 75.1% female) with co‐existing sleep and depressive symptoms were randomized to I‐BMS or waiting‐list. Daytime functioning variables included the daytime dysfunction items of the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI‐day), Somatic Symptom Inventory, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale and Short Form Health Survey collected at baseline, post‐treatment and 3‐month follow‐up. Sleep and depressive symptoms were measured by the sleep items of the PSQI (PSQI‐night) and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (excluding the sleep item) (CESD‐M). Regression and path analyses were used to understand the role of daytime functioning in sleep and depressive symptoms. We found significant group and time effects on almost all daytime variables and significant group × time interactions on PSQI‐day and somatic symptoms. The adjusted regression model showed that CESD‐M was associated with all daytime variables. However, PSQI‐night was associated only with PSQI‐day. Path analyses indicated that PSQI‐day bridged PSQI‐night and CESD‐M in a two‐way direction after the I‐BMS intervention. The conclusion was that, following I‐BMS intervention, improvement in daytime functioning was related predominantly to improvement in depressive symptoms. Night‐time sleep related only to daytime dysfunction that was specific to sleep disturbances. Therefore, ‘sleep‐specific daytime impairment’ could be regarded as a major link from night‐time sleep to depressive symptoms. More studies are required to understand the concept of ‘sleep‐specific daytime impairment’.

Recently, much more mind-body/mindfulness interventions have been used in different people including frail elders, patients with major depressive order, pain suffering, chronic fatigue, infection, and patients in intensive care unit, etc. In the field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, many Chinese mind-body exercises are under very active investigation for evidence-based decision making. At the same time, there is a fact that Yoga and Health Qigong/Tai Chi, especially meditative practice based on ancient oriental civilizations, have been practiced for thousands of years and are getting more attention. The use of Traditional Chinese music as therapy was documented around 94 BC and that was foundational to traditional Chinese medicine, building power for health as well. Meditation, as a mind-body practice, originally introduced by cultivators in ancient Eastern religious and/or spiritual traditions has raised increasing awareness recently in the Western world. Medical research results suggest that the benefits of Eastern meditative practices not only include the promotion of emotional and mental health, resilience, stress and anxiety reductions, but also cure other health-related conditions. It was suggested that improvement of moral level would be of the same importance with those achieving mind-body health. Through experiential learning, and what delivering big sample size survey results and numerous case reports, the authors are illustrating the mindful practice of Falun Gong (also called "Falun Dafa") and have real health-wellness effects to practitioners.
