Mindfulness improves academic performance? I have just started a PhD in Mathematics. Can serious mindfulness practice (i.e. vipassana meditation at least 2 hours a day) help improve academic performance? If so, can you attach any reliable studies on this?
This question appears not answerable. For example, if your vipassana practise is highly successful, your mind could become &quot;dispassionate&quot; towards mathematics. Instead of earning a PHD, you might become a monk &amp; spend your life wandering among peasants in Cambodia.
