Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of meditation therapy on stress relief and quality of life. The experimental group included 85 Sojucheon meditation members in Gwangju and Jeonnam, and the control group was a survey of 48 members including general office workers and beauty school students. One-way ANOVA was performed for the statistics of differences in study variables between the two groups. The results of the analysis showed a significant difference in stress, and the F test also showed a significant difference in quality of life. Therefore, most of the meditation practitioners have been found that meditation therapy has a positive effect on stress relief and quality of life. These results suggest that Sojucheon meditation therapy is effective in relieving stress and quality of life, and it can be said that it is sufficient to provide a reference of meditation therapy for psychological stability.
