Total score, scores for wrong cancellation, and net score in an SLCT pre and post the CM and SR sessions. Values are in group mean and standard deviation

	Cyclic meditation		Supine rest
	Pre	Post	Pre	Post
Total score for cancellation	39.07±12.21	44.84±13.24***@	38.67±12.16	42.87±13.16***
Score for wrong cancellation	0.53±1.39	0.68±1.62	0.66±1.96	0.58±1.78
Net score for cancellation	38.54±12.32	44.13±13.26***@	38.01±12.2	42.31±13.26***

Total scores differed significantly between States (F=222.92, P<0.001) and there was a significant interaction between session and state (F=6.79, P<0.01). Also, the net scores differed significantly between states (F=218.58, P<0.001) and there was a significant interaction between session and state (F=4.62, P<0.033). Post-hoc analyses showed that for both CM and SR, there was a significant increase in total scores (P<0.001 in both sessions) and net scores (P<0.001 in both sessions) compared to the respective pre-values. Also there was a significant change in post mean (P<0.024) values of CM and SR in both total and net scores
