The IONS Meditation Bibliography provides a current, centralized database designed to assist professionals, students, individuals, and novices alike with the means to effectively navigate thousands of published articles that deal with such questions as “Is meditation effective for stress reduction in a corporate environment, and, if so, what type of meditation and programs are beneficial?” or “I have a patient with hypertension who might benefit from meditation – what program should I recommend?”

It can be challenging even for professional meditation researchers to remain abreast of the literature while sorting through the terminology, the diversity of techniques, the degrees of scientific rigor, and outcomes. To assist people conducting research on meditation, resources offered here include:

• a brief Introduction to Meditation
• information about Meditation Research
• instructions for Effectively Using the Meditation Bibliography
• instructions on How to Read and Evaluate Research Articles
• a form to Suggest Articles to include in the database
• links to easily accessible resources to Learn Meditation Practices
