A prospective, non-randomized, single-center cohort study to evaluate the value of audio-guided meditation during breast biopsy procedures. The main criterion of judgment is based on the evaluation of tolerance, which includes anxiety and pain felt. This is assessed with questionnaires (STAI-ETAT and EN) before and after the procedure. Secondary endpoints include tolerance of additional physical pain, reduction in the number of per-procedure complications, overall satisfaction of the practitioner with the biopsy procedure, and comparison of the tolerance of the procedure in patients who practice meditation at home before the procedure
