Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: The framework combines yoga, meditation, bilateral stimulation, and hypnotherapy to promote resilience and well-being. It was co-developed by Dr. Rosina Mete and Dr. Cindi Saj. mixed-methods design was employed, with twelve adult participants completing pre- and post-intervention assessments, including the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, safety and stability questionnaires, and open-ended reflections. Quantitative analyses using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests revealed statistically significant improvements in key areas of self-esteem, self-confidence, and perceived safety. Specifically, participants reported greater satisfaction with themselves, increased recognition of personal strengths, and stronger coping mechanisms, alongside enhanced feelings of groundedness and emotional security. Complementing these results, thematic qualitative analysis highlighted participants’ increased body awareness, trust, and positive self-perceptions, often expressed through both psycho-logical insights and physical sensations such as relaxation, openness, and calmness. Findings suggest that multimodal, body-centered practices may effectively enhance self-worth and emotional security, highlighting their potential as accessible tools for promoting men-tal well-being in a variety of settings.
