Is meditation on the rise?

Question

i hope it is...

Answer 1

While I don't have any scientific data to back it up I believe that it is.

Stress and anxiety are definitely on the rise in many parts of the world due to many reasons.  I believe this is a primary reason why more people are seeking meditation techniques to cope.  :)

Answer 2

Yes! Meditation has been on the rise, mainly in western culture. People - mainly teens and people in their twenties - have been looking in to traditional eastern practices and beliefs, such as those in buddhism.

Things like this rise and fall a lot in pop culture, so we'll probably see a huge fall in the number of people meditating, and then in the next few years there will probably be another rise.

That's people for ya...
