Abstract :

The present study assesses the immediate effect of cyclic meditation on cognitive functions in women with PMS by using six letter cancellation test. Cyclic meditation is a technique of ‘moving meditation’, which combines the practice of yoga postures with guided meditation. 37 healthy females with PMS were included in the study. The participants acted as self–controls. After recording baseline values, cyclic meditation was performed by the participants. Each participants was assessed before and after sessions. Thus the effect of CM on cognitive domain was assessed using six letter cancellation test. Paired t test was applied to find out the significant difference before and after tests. It was observed that cognitive functions were elevated after the cyclic meditation. This study suggests that the yogic relaxation technique can be helpful in improving cognitive domains in women with PMS immediately after the practice.
