A new, five-minute visualization practice is gaining attention among mental health professionals as a quick path to stress reduction. The approach involves only a few minutes of quiet imagination and has been highlighted by recent coverage in acclaimed outlets. For busy Thais and global readers alike, this simple technique offers a practical option to manage pressure in modern life.

Stress is a constant in Thailand, from Bangkok’s congested streets to the high expectations faced by students. With waves of change from the pandemic and the economy, many Thais report heightened anxiety.
