Description

ABSTRACT Numerous studies have been conducted exploring the physiological and psychological effects of meditation. However, few describe the personal experiences of meditators, and none portray those who use metaphysical meditations. This research utilized in-depth interviews, the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale, and a questionnaire of biographical data to describe the experiences of individuals who use metaphysical meditations. The purposive sample was composed of 18 individuals known to be involved with metaphysical meditations. Data analyses included content analysis and descriptive statistics. Meditators were found to be individuals who have made conscious decisions to change their lives by choosing to release pain and struggle. Meditators suggested that nurses form a partnership with them in health promotion. Participants have created a new health paradigm and worldview that, if applied, may have considerable impact in nursing practice.
