Can we utilize meditation to maintain homeostasis physically, mentally, or emotionally?

Hello, nice to meet you, thank you for taking the time and effort to write this paper :). This research paper has a broad question: Can meditation be utilized to maintain homeostasis physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. Basically, how does meditation affect the body and mind, and by what physiological mechanisms? I have already written a rough draft (file name: Rough draft), around 1500 words, and more details of what my research paper is about are in the abstract/introduction section. If possible, please keep some main ideas/concepts the same, but expand/tweak upon anything as necessary. An example of a good research paper our teacher gave us is attached below (File: Calibrate_Two_Paper) just in case you wanted an idea of that. The research paper I’m supposed to write holds an abstract, introduction, discussion, and conclusion format. The peer review file is the rubric that describes what is expected for each section. If possible, please write the paper to align with the standards of that rubric! My teacher wants the reference page a little different from the regular APA format, she wants the sources themselves to be written in APA but she wants us to order our references in the order we use them in the paper, if that sounds confusing I did this in my rough draft so you can look what I mean. However, if that’s too much then just do regular APA format with the citations and references and I can tweak it later, it’s not that big of a deal. If you have any questions or need clarification about the topic, rubric, or structure please let me know and I will respond fast, thanks!
