 I don't believe there *is* a solution to adolescence, do you?

 involves a conscious focus on and awareness of your present state of mind and 
surroundings, without judgment or reaction. Mindfulness is rooted in Buddhism 
and was developed in the 1970’s as a therapeutic intervention for stress in 
adults by Jon Kabat-Zinn, who founded the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction 
Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Over the past several 
decades, the practice of mindfulness has evolved into a booming billion dollar 
industry, with growing claims that mindfulness is a panacea for host of 
maladies including stress, depression, failures of attention, eating disorders, 
substance abuse, weight gain, and pain.
 Not all of these claims, however, are likely to be true. A recent critical 
evaluation http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691617709589 of the 
adult literature on mindfulness identifies a number of weaknesses in the extant 
research, including a lack of randomized control groups, small sample sizes, 
large attrition rates, and inconsistent definitions of mindfulness. Moreover, a 
systematic review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24395196 of intervention 
studies found insufficient evidence for a benefit of mindfulness on attention, 
mood, sleep, weight control, or substance abuse.
 That said, there is empirical evidence 
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24395196 that mindfulness offers a moderate 
benefit for anxiety, depression, and pain, at least in adults. Can mindfulness 
also be used as an effective tool for mitigating depression and anxiety in 
teens? Some research https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23787061 suggests it 
can, but the research is plagued by the same shortcomings identified in the 
adult literature (e.g., lack of a randomized control group, small sample 
sizes). In an effort to address these limitations, Catherine Johnson, Christine 
Burke, Sally Brickman, and Tracey Wade conducted a large-scale study 
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27054828 including a randomized control 
group to assess the benefits of mindfulness training in teens.
 

 They evaluated the efficacy of mindfulness training in 308 middle and high 
school students (average age 13.6 yrs) from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. 
The students were enrolled in 17 different classes across 5 different schools. 
Students opted in to the study, and were randomly assigned to the control group 
or the mindfulness training group. Students in the control group received no 
mindfulness training but instead participated in community projects or received 
lessons in pastoral care. Students in the mindfulness group completed 8 weeks 
of training in the .b (“Dot be”) Mindfulness in Schools curriculum, which is 
based on the “gold standard” Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) 
intervention for adults. The training sessions varied in length from 35 to 60 
min and were administered once a week. All mindfulness training was conducted 
by the same certified instructor. Beyond the weekly training sessions, teens in 
the mindfulness group were encouraged to practice mindfulness techniques at 
home and were given manuals to assist in this practice.
 All participants were assessed at three different time points: a baseline 
taken one week before the intervention, a post-test measure taken a week after 
the sessions were over, and a follow-up assessment administered about 3 months 
later. The study included measures of anxiety and depression, weight and shape 
concerns, well-being, emotional dysregulation, self-compassion, and 
mindfulness. Participants were also asked to report their compliance with home 
practice, and to provide an evaluation of the intervention. Attrition rates 
were low (just 16 percent at follow up) and comparable for both groups.
 Despite the numerous outcome measures employed in the study, there was no 
evidence of any benefit for the mindfulness group at either the immediate 
post-test or the follow up. In fact, anxiety was higher at the follow up for 
males in the mindfulness group relative to males in the control group. The same 
was true for participants with low baseline depression and low baseline weight

I understand your point. The then Governor of what was called Pennsylvania in

very much like europeans but dark possibly partly because they didnt protect 
their skin from sun as the europeans did. I think this indicates likely ancient 
european origins at least in the east. People went everywhere . In the present

Mindfulness

maladies including stress, depression, failures of attention, eating disorders, 
substance abuse, weight gain, and pain.

evaluation  of the 
adult literature on mindfulness identifies a number of weaknesses in the extant 
research, including a lack of randomized control groups, small sample sizes, 
large attrition rates, and inconsistent definitions of mindfulness. Moreover, a 
systematic review  of 
intervention studies found insufficient evidence for a benefit of mindfulness 
on attention, mood, sleep, weight control, or substance abuse.
That said, there is empirical evidence 
 that mindfulness offers a 
moderate benefit for anxiety, depression, and pain, at least in adults. Can 
mindfulness also be used as an effective tool for mitigating depression and 
anxiety in teens? Some research

My analogy might be for instance: one can practice the individual an.gas like 
say, drum rudiments, but the big difference is that unless one is a Buddy Rich,
 one prolly can't play e.g. The Downfall of Paris without first practicing the 
rudiments
 separately, but one can do at least the six an.gas starting from aasana up to 
samaadhi by just
 practicing plain vanilla TM? 
 

 So, yama and niyama develop "automatically" as a side product?
