CALL FOR STUDY PARTICIPANTS LEARNING TO MEDITATE

Combining Music & Meditation: An online study to investigate the mental health benefits of Tamarkoz meditation 

​

STUDY DETAILS: This study by the Sufi Psychology Association pairs the practice of Tamarkoz with curated music from the Sufi music ensemble, Zendeh Delan. The study hypothesizes that music can enhance the positive effects of the Tamarkoz method, with respect to positive emotions, mindfulness, stress, fatigue, and anxiety. Participants will be virtually guided through the Tamarkoz meditation by videos provided weekly. Through this practice, participants will learn how to meditate. Outside of the study, the invaluable tool of quieting one's mind and focusing will be something participants can use for the rest of their lives. The study is led by an integrated team of physicians, psychologists and music scholars.
