Different types of ragas have different levels of impact. I have seen that certain ragas produce relaxation, calmness and increased attention.​

 I observed some beneficial effect of Indian Classical music in different Raga, Tempo & Rhythms on children in the age group of 11--20 over few years and studied the effect of different types of ragas and intra raga elements such as slow motion and little rapid motion tempo of the ragas. I have also observed that Ragas as performed in live concerts need to be modified for mindfulness to be beneficial. Some of the modifications include speed, beats, rhythm patterns and so the mindfulness raga becomes entirely different from the ragas performed in live concerts.

In one of the sessions, I was trying to improvise the calm and quietness which is the essence of the raga I was singing. At the beginning some of the children in the session were restless. When I started singing the raga which was an evening raga I observed that group which was restless all become very relaxed. Some of them lay down and even fell asleep.

This study has also shown certain rhythm patterns produce beneficial effects. The children participating in the sessions over a period few years show increased level of personal interactions such as trying to discuss the music, attempting to sing and play it and trying to visualize the music by drawing pictures.
