Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) studies consistently associate alpha-band oscillations with relaxation, internalized attention, and sensory disengagement during meditation. However, limited evidence exists on how Heartfulness Meditation (HM), particularly its unique transmission phases, modulates alpha activity across different experience levels. Purpose: This study investigated...

This study investigated the impact of Heartfulness Meditation (HM) on alpha power modulation in individuals with varying meditation experience. Thirty-three participants were grouped into long-term meditators (LTM, n = 12), short-term meditators (STM, n = 11), and nonmeditator controls (CG, n = 10). EEG data were recorded using a 129-channel system across four experimental conditions: baseline,...
