The Science Of Meditation

"This book is a comprehensive collection of evidence and knowledge on the role of meditation in health and well-being. It brings together information on the history, concepts, schools of thought, different meditation techniques, and their reported effects on various systems of the human body.
The book is designed as a useful resource for health-care professionals, students, researchers, therapists, and anyone interested in evidence-based approaches to health. It may support professionals in developing their own meditation practice, educating and supporting their communities, exploring research questions, and considering appropriate meditation-based approaches for patients where clinically applicable.
Covering techniques such as Vipassana, Kinhin, Body Scan, Trataka, Mantra, Kundalini, Zazen, Neti Neti, Metta, Breath, Sound, and Visualization Meditation, the book provides a broad foundation for understanding meditation from both traditional and health-care perspectives.
Rather than presenting meditation only as a spiritual practice, this book encourages readers to explore it as a potential complementary approach to health, wellness, rehabilitation, research, and professional practice, while considering individual needs, clinical judgment, and available evidence.
A practical reference for exploring the evidence, understanding the possibilities, and applying meditation responsibly in health care.
