Wellness Research — Body, Mind, and Spirit in Everyday Life

The ANGT Wellness program studies human health from a spiritual perspective—how practices of yoga, meditation, sentient (sattvic) diet, lifestyle rhythms, and the transformation of samskáras (impressions that shape tendencies) can cultivate clarity, resilience, and service-minded living.

Why Wellness Research at ANGT?

Wellness is more than symptom relief. We investigate how disciplined living and compassionate intention shape physiology, mood, cognition, and conduct—so that inner wellbeing translates into family harmony, ethical work, and community service. Our approach honors both measurement and meaning.

Yoga & Meditation

Breath-led āsanas, prāṇāyāma, mantra-based meditation, and kiirtan as practical tools for stress recovery, emotional balance, and value-centered decision making.

Sentient (Sattvic) Diet

Plant-forward, simple, fresh meals; timing and moderation; fasting guidelines—studied for effects on mood, sleep, cognition, and metabolic health.

Samskáras & Inner Change

Studying how impressions from past actions influence habits and reactions—and how ethics, devotion, and practice help transform tendencies toward benevolence.

Methods & Measures

Behavioral & Self-Report

Mood, stress, sleep, appetite, compassion, purpose, and habit check-ins; short reflective narratives on samskára shifts.

Routine & Practice Logs

Attendance for yoga/meditation, diet diaries (timing/quality), nature time, seva hours; weekly rhythm maps.

Physio Adjuncts (as available)

Resting heart rate/HRV, breath rate, simple fitness markers—privacy-first, non-diagnostic, optional.

Safety & Ethics

Informed consent, cultural sensitivity, right to withdraw, and clear boundaries between education, research, and care.

Note: Wellness studies are educational and exploratory; they do not diagnose or treat disease. Clinical concerns are referred to licensed providers.

Case Studies (Examples)

  1. Sattvic Diet & Mood: Four-week crossover on meal timing and quality; effects on energy, sleep, and affect.
  2. Yoga + Breath for Stress: Short daily sequence with paced breathing; changes in recovery and attention.
