Researchers from the University of Vienna surveyed more than 1,200 adults about their experiences with five popular spiritual practices, including yoga, meditation, silent retreats, Catholic sermons, and pilgrimages.

Their results revealed that many people reported feeling bored during these practices.

According to the researchers, boredom can have a negative effect on motivation and mindfulness during spiritual practices.

It can 'seriously dampen' any positive effects, they say.
