Pranchakra Meditation: A Novel Meditation Protocol Developed Through Personal Experience.
Background: This manuscript describes a newly developed Meditation protocol that has emerged through personal experience of the author over an extended period. Rooted in traditional mindfulness practices but adapted through lived experience, this protocol offers a unique approach to Meditation, aiming to foster cognition, deeper self-awareness, and emotional balance. Unlike other protocols grounded in formal research, this practice is shaped by intuitive insights and personal exploration.
Objective: The primary objective of the novel Pranchakra Meditation is to enhance the practitioner engagement (such as maintaining focus) and foster regular practice along with providing health benefits (such as managing stress).
Methodology: Pranchakra Meditation is a combination practice including pranayama, dhyana, and bandha of Indian traditional yogic origin. The author utilizes personal academic and professional expertise, focus group discussion, and thematic analysis to design the protocol including five practicing academicians in the field of Yoga and Naturopathy and three independent Yoga practitioners.
Results: Preliminary anecdotal feedback suggests that practitioners experience enhanced clarity and relaxation. The protocol showed strong validation overall, with most criteria receiving ≥75% agreement. Feedback highlighted the protocol effectiveness in maintaining engagement.
Conclusion: Pranchakra Meditation represents a promising tool in Meditation practice, although further research is necessary to validate its broader applicability. This protocol has the potential to contribute significantly to the evolving landscape of meditative practices and invites future studies for formal validation.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
