Better definition?

Please can I suggest "Meditation is a practice in which an individual operates their conscious mind in a way that is different from that used in normal day to day life. " as this includes many other practices widely considered as meditation, e.g. 'no thought' and single point concentration practices.JCJC777 (talk) 18.07, 29 April 2017 (UTC)JCJC777)

Kirtan Kriya content moved to talk

I removed the following because I am unclear if the source meets WP:MEDRS at all, and even if it does I don't see how this presentation and wording could be appropriate.

Other forms of meditation such as Kirtan Kriya (KK), is proven to be an effective prevention method of Alzheimer's disease. This practice is proven to improve sleep, decrease depression, reduce anxiety, down regulate inflammatory genes, upregulate immune system genes and increase telomerase by 43%. This specific practice, uses focused breath, chanting, finger movements and visualization. These activations of the brain have proven highly beneficial in AD prevention practices. Examples of results of the study include increased cerebral blood flow and PCG activation, both providing protection against neurodegeneration. ^[1]

yeah that is not acceptable. thanks for removing it. Jytdog (talk) 19:37, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone update the PsychINFO ref?

Reference 21;

Number of citations in PsycINFO: 69 for Walsh & Shapiro, 2006 (2 July 2010); 95 for Cahn & Polich, 2006 (2 July 2010); 57 for Jevning et al. (1992) (3 July 2010); 103 for Goleman, 1988 (2 July 2010).

Thanks

Reference 31 (was 21);

Have updated the citation counts.  The Goleman book is not in the PsycInfo database anymore.  In the footnote to the table, I noted that it is a classic text.  Should I support that assertion?  I might be able to find a reference somewhere saying that, or I could just note the huge number of editions issued.  Thanks for any guidance! Vale6674 (talk) 22:56, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up note about footnote; I've removed the phrase "classic text" as I'm still not sure about calling it classic without an generally-accepted way to support that. I've left the Goleman quote in, even though his book is not listed in the PsycINFO database, just because it has been reissued at least 32 times and Goleman is a well-respected and highly cited researcher.

This article is now too long

Can someone move the 'religions' section into a new article? or shorten the 'history of' section by moving some of that content into the actual 'history of' wiki article? JCJC777 (talk) 18:42, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Removing evo4soul

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Meditation. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The individual is attempting to promote his page through wikipedia and this should not be tolerated as he is unverified and unreliable.

"Piyush Kumar Nahata,[90] an ex-Jain Monk created a meditation technique by the name of evo4soul.[91] He worked more than two decades to understand the process of evolution theory in the context of ancient Indian wisdom provided by Rishis, Tirthankaras and Buddhas. After a deep analysis of both systems he designed a genius system to evolve the soul. It’s a complete guide to align the body, mind and soul."
