About this trial
The Effects of Mindfulness Practice with Tao Art ("Love Peace Harmony" Calligraphy and Song) on Well-being - Controlled Randomized Study
The goal of this controlled randomized clinical study is to learn if a Tao Calligraphy Mindfulness Practice works to improve Well-being. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does Tao Calligraphy Mindfulness practice improve these three aspects of well-being in adults: (1) Perceived Stress, (2) the Social Connectedness, and (3) Peace of Mind? * Will any improvement in the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Social Connectedness Scale (SCS), and the Peace of Mind Scale (PMS) in adults be statistically significant? Investigators will compare the values of these three scales at the beginning of the mindfulness practices to their values at three months of practice and control groups.
Participants will:
* be randomized into practice and wait-list control groups * complete the set of three questionnaires upon entry into the study - (the baseline or zero time point; at the 3-months time point, and at the six-months time point * practice the mindfulness techniques with Tao Calligraphy and Tao Song for a minimum of thirty minutes daily
