Meditation, in small doses can it have large effect? your thoughts on this article

[Phaedra]

Although what I do would not be strictly considered meditation, there are meditative aspects to some of the therapeutic techniques that I have learned in therapy. When I'm having a panic attack or am in emotional distress, I find those techniques very helpful in finding internal balance and mental well being. I also don't hold any belief in the woo aspects of it, but it is good for my mental health.

I have noticed that the techniques used to handle a panic attack are very similar to meditation.
