Effects of Meditation on one’s emotional life : a pre-post case series study
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This study aims to emphasize the effects of mediation in our emotional lives. Meditation is often viewed from a mystical lens especially for those who are considered God-intoxicated or those aiming for spiritual self-realization (with or without belief in God). It’s a belief that meditation is a religious process whereas meditation is a non-denominational process meant for theist, atheist and agnostics. Apart from the spiritual, mediation has a broader salutary role to play in both physiological as well as psychological wellbeing of an individual. There is a close relation between the physiological and psychological wellbeing of an individual hence many ailments are considered to be psychosomatic. The paper aims to highlight the effects of mediation on individual’s emotional lives.
