Abstract

Meditation is known as a technique to achieve stabilized emotions, mental and physical relaxation. Listening to recorded meditation might be able to achieve the goal of reducing stress and adjusting emotions. Fifty-six 16+ subjects in the experiment were asked to complete a Self-rating Anxiety Scale survey in order to measure their stress levels then listen to recorded meditation. After listening, the subjects were asked to fill out the scale again in order to determine the change in their stress levels. The control group was asked to complete the scale twice with a 12-min interval. The two groups were contrasted to determine the relationship between listening to recorded mediation and people’s stress levels. This paper aims to analyze the results in the experiments and concludes that breath meditation can reduce stress level in students. Finally, limitations of the experiment and future directions of meditation in coping with stress are pointed out.
