چکیده
Meditation is popularly known for its healing and spiritual aspects and is derived from ancient traditions of India and the martial arts of China [1]. Recognized branches of meditation today are mantra (Transcendental Meditation and Benson’s Relaxation Response) and Mindfulness Meditation [2], Yoga [3], and the practices of Tai Chi & Qi Gong [2]. These forms of meditation are increasingly used as a complementary mind/body therapeutic strategy for chronic diseases like hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and substance abuse; cancer patient’s constitutional symptoms and a variety of stresses of modern life have also been addressed with meditative approaches [2].

Assessment of Cardiovascular Parameters during Meditation with Mental Targeting in Varsity Swimmers.
Introduction. Athletes who develop an immunosuppressed state because of intensive training get upper respiratory infections (URIs) and may respond to meditation. Reflective exercise (RE), a westernized form of Qigong, combines meditation, breathing, and targeted mental attention to an internal pulsatile sensation, previously shown to protect varsity swimmers from URIs during the height of train...

متن کاملQuantitative Assessment of Heart Rate Dynamics during Meditation: An ECG Based Study with Multi-Fractality and Visibility Graph
The cardiac dynamics during meditation is explored quantitatively with two chaos-based non-linear techniques viz. multi-fractal detrended fluctuation analysis and visibility network analysis techniques. The data used are the instantaneous heart rate (in beats/minute) of subjects performing Kundalini Yoga and Chi meditation from PhysioNet. The results show consistent differences between the quan...
متن کاملCardiovascular and nervous system changes during meditation
BACKGROUND A number of benefits have been described for the long-term practice of meditation, yet little is known regarding the immediate neurological and cardiovascular responses to meditation. Wireless sensor technology allows, for the first time, multi-parameter and quantitative monitoring of an individual's responses during meditation. The present study examined inter-individual variations ...
