In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi became famous as the guru to the Beatles:

Musician & Osho student Manish Vyas came from India to Switzerland to live here and to awaken the Yogi’s in Ticino:

Manish Vyas gave also concerts with Snatam Kaur who was a student of Kundalini Yoga Master Yogi Bhajan who lived in the U.S.:

Snatam Kaur sings the mantra Gobinday Serenity to lower the heart rate

Snatam Kaur has a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry. She has a science education as well. Did she use an Apple watch to test the effect of the mantra on her heart rate? Different people use different methods to lower the heart rate.

Buddhist monastries

A woman who once lived in Buddhist monastry in France said to Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, they where not allowed to listen to music there. That is one reason she left the monastry and became a Kundalini Yogi.
