Comparison Of Mantra And Mindfulness Meditation Practices

325 Words2 Pages

Evidence and research studies to date have shown that both “mantra” and “mindfulness” meditation practices can reduce emotional symptoms such as anxiety, stress and depression as well as relieve physical pain symptoms of a low to a moderate degree. These findings were reported recently in a comparative effectiveness review prepared by Johns Hopkins University (Goyal, et al. 2014). However, the review also pointed out that these studies had significant limitations related to inadequate control comparisons. Furthermore, it was not sure if the positive effects were from the meditation training or the result of the expectations for self-improvement that participants can form while receiving this type of treatment.

Both authors emphasize the 10 minute meditation practice with the same 11-step meditation habit (Scott & Davenport, 2016, p.31) as discussed in 10-Minute Mindfulness.

  • Subject Defects

    Subject defects can be a limitation factor due to the fact that the majority of participants were people involved with some form of yoga as a spiritual path; this could skew the data to favour results of a particular spiritual path rather than give results for the general population. Also, subjects that have had previous experience with meditation have formulated an opinion and therefore, more likely to give results. Yoga practitioners could also be more likely to look for results to prove that their practice is beneficial because they believe in it already, rather than being totally objective. There were participants in this study that did not have any yoga experience, exactly 14.3 percent out of 70 participants, but it may have been better

    It’s hard to believe that mindfulness was relatively unpopular before the 20th century, but that’s it: mindfulness wasn’t popular. In fact, the first man to successfully infuse mindfulness into his writing was a man named James Joyce, an Irish novelist and poet who influenced the world of literature by introducing a brand new style of writing to it (Poem Hunter). This style of writing was called ‘stream-of-consciousness,’ and it allowed writers to organize their thoughts in natural, continuous flowers, while also being interesting enough to capture and entertain readers. This is, for most reasons, why many refer to Joyce as “the Master of the Mind” (Mindful).
