Hypertension is a leading risk factor of global mortality. A local priest community identified elevated blood pressure as a concern, and mindfulness practice was taught and implemented as an evidence-based method of blood pressure reduction. Mindfulness practice resulted in a statistically significant reduction in both perceived stress and blood pressure.
