Abstract
The contemporary epoch, characterized by accelerated socio-economic transitions and cognitive overload, has precipitated a substantial escalation in psychological distress and attentional fragmentation among individuals. Within this paradigm, meditation has emerged as a potent psycho physiological intervention facilitating enhanced psychological well-being, sustained attentional focus, and cognitive clarity. The present empirical investigation seeks to quantitatively examine the impact of meditation practices on psychological well-being, focus, and mental clarity among individuals residing in selected districts of Chhattisgarh.Standardized instruments, including the Psychological Well-Being Scale, Attention Focus Scale, and Mental Clarity Index, were administered. Statistical analyses encompassed descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis.The findings reveal a statistically significant positive correlation between meditation and psychological well-being (r = 0.62, p < .01), focus (r = 0.58, p < .01), and mental clarity (r = 0.65, p < .01). The study underscores meditation as a viable intervention for enhancing cognitive and emotional functioning in regional populations.
