Meditation boosts problem solving and resilience in adults: A comparison between Inner Engineering program and Mindfulness.

This study compares the effects of two types of meditation, Inner Engineering, and mindfulness, on problem-solving and resilience. The study utilized a causal-comparative research design and included a convenience sampling method to select 137 participants, with 56 practicing Inner Engineering, 39 practicing mindfulness, and a control group of 39 individuals who did not practice any type of meditation. Data was collected through online questionnaires, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 24 software. The results suggest that the Inner Engineering meditation program is more effective than mindfulness meditation in increasing resilience and problem-solving abilities. However, mindfulness meditation may improve cognitive function, attention performance, and cognitive flexibility, leading to effective problem-solving. Overall, both meditation methods have the potential to increase resilience and problem-solving abilities. The findings contribute to the existing literature on the benefits of meditation and highlight the potential role of different types of meditation in enhancing problem-solving and resilience. The study adds to the knowledge base of the effects of meditation and provides valuable insights into the benefits of different types of meditation
