Abstract
Aim: The present study is to examine the changes in memory of health science students with meditation. Materials and Methods: Fifty healthy health science students in the age group of 17-23 were considered for the study. They were trained to practice meditation technique for 12 weeks and their memory was assessed using PGI (Post Graduate Institute) Memory scale before and after intervention at Annapoorana Medical College, Salem, Tamilnadu, India. Result and Conclusion: Results suggest that after practicing meditation there was a significant improvement in memory comparing with memory level before meditation. These results may be due to personality development, higher concentration and reduction of distraction thoughts (mind wandering) due to meditation training
