Abstract


Life these days is increasingly driven by competition, resulting in stress, dissatisfaction, and lack of fulfillment. Young adulthood is a unique, and critical period of development in which unmet wants, and responsibility takes place. Meditation is a universal technique that clears one's mind and connects one's inner energy to the universal energy, and leads to the pure joy of being one with universal consciousness and experiencing unlimited peace and happiness. There are many different techniques of meditation, like taichi meditation, mindfulness meditation, concentrative meditation, Zen meditation, preksha meditation, etc. Among these, samarpan meditation is a technique that comes from the Himalayas in 1994 by Shree Shivkrupanand Swami and now this technique has been spread to the entire world. This unique technique is free of cost and anybody can easily get benefit from it. Earlier, the meditation practice was followed according to the religious context only. On the contrary, this technique is now experienced according to the spiritual and philosophical context of a human and is applied for the promotion of their well-being. This paper describes the effectiveness of meditation techniques on young adults, including the physical, psychological, social, and mental benefits.
