• 1] The study is aimed at understanding different meditative techniques taught under kriya yoga for higher consciousness. The study revealed both for spiritual intelligence and psychological.
• 2] Four aspects of the individual that can influence what happens for them in meditation are illustrated with tangible examples: (1) What is happening in generally in someone’s life; (2) the state of their system (mind, body, breath) around the time of the meditation; (3) reactions to the meditation steps and instructions; and (4) their prior experiences with the object of meditation.
• 3] It presents a model of when, why, and how on-the-spot mindfulness meditation is likely to be helpful or harmful for aspects of job performance.
• 4] In this study, a robust method based on the matching pursuit (MP) algorithm was proposed to examine the heart rate variability (HRV) differences of meditators and non-meditators. The non-meditators were comprised of metronomic breathing (MB) and spontaneous nocturnal breathing (SNB) groups.
• 5] We examined a prescribed mindfulness meditation regimen , which incorporates gamification principles, in reducing symptoms of depression compared to a control group.
• 6] Loving-kindness and compassion meditations (LKCM) are considered a promising practice for increasing long-term well-being. While previous studies have mainly focused on meditation practice quantity, the current study provides an initial exploration of the quality of meditation during multiweek LKCM training.
• 7] The results show that the range of multifractal singularity spectrum of heartbeat interval time series during meditation is significantly narrower than those in the pre-meditation state of the same subject, which indicates that during meditation the heartbeat becomes regular and the degree of multifractality decreases.
• 8] We introduce the meditative heart rates in time and frequency domains, and extract their nonlinear dynamics by local dynamic and global static symbolic time-series analysis.
• 9] We detected changes in probability distribution of m-words during meditation and explained this changes using probability distribution of sine function.
• 10] Finally the paper would attempt to replace stress, conflict and the chaos within by peace, love and harmony, through heart based meditation.
CONCLUSION
After reading 10 articles on meditation, it is clear that this practice has numerous benefits for both the mind and body. Meditation can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and improve focus, memory, and overall well-being.
Additionally, meditation is a versatile practice that can be tailored to fit the needs and preferences of each individual. There are various types of meditation, such as mindfulness, transcendental, and loving-kindness, each with its own unique benefits and techniques.While some may find it challenging to establish a regular meditation practice, incorporating it into one’s daily routine can yield significant positive effects on physical and mental health. It is also important to approach meditation with an open and non-judgmental mindset, as progress and benefits may not be immediately noticeable but can accumulate over time with consistent practice.
Overall, the research and experiences shared in these articles suggest that meditation is a valuable tool for promoting overall health and well-being, and that it is worth exploring for those interested in improving their quality of life.
