ABSTRACT

The purpose of this literature review is to present recent evidence on the biopsychosocial effects of meditation, mindfulness and other meditation techniques that require relaxation. This review found evidence of multiple benefits of these practices for general welfare, dysfunctional emotional states and processes, as well as for the cognitive and physical symptoms of chronic diseases. The methodology utilized was to identify evidence-based studies in these areas. Specifically, children and adolescent studies that included randomized client or patient samples, the use of control groups and properly applied quantitative as well as qualitative measures were considered. Following this review, recommendations are made for further research, instruments and measures that would be useful in meditation and mindfulness research. The psychological profile of people trained in these practices and other possible intervening variables indicators would be logical research issues since they are not apparent in the relevant scientific literature.
