What is meditation? What do people hope to get from practicing it
and what do they really get? How can the effects of meditation be
explained? And what are the best approaches to researching the
psychology of meditation so we can understand more? This volume
provides state-of-the-art answers to these questions. Contrary to
commonly accepted wisdom, meditation comes in huge varieties and
the reasons why people begin to meditate (and stay with it) are
also numerous and diverse. Even mindfulness, which is often
(wrongly) used as a synonym for meditation, comes in many forms.
This book first describes the varieties of meditation in detail and
then succinctly summarizes the beneficial effects found in the
avalanche of studies available, especially in clinical contexts,
and also explores recently emerging topics such as negative effects
and the impact of ethics and spirituality. The author expertly
provides theories of four main traditional meditation approaches,
which has never been done before in this form, and gives a critical
overview of Western approaches to explain the effects of
meditation. In conclusion, he makes recommendations on how to
improve future meditation research. This book is of interest to
meditation researchers, mental health practitioners, students
interested in meditation and mindfulness, and to everybody who
seriously wants to know more about the topic.
