Resumen:
Summary
In Spain, meditation is generally considered one more relaxation method amongst many used
in psychotherapy. Nevertheless, an extensive body of experimental findings affirms that medita-
tion has cognitive, physiological and psychotherapeutic characteristics that clearly differentiates
it from other relaxation methods insofar as its origin, generic and specific effects, forms and
methods of application.
Meditation can produce distinctive effects on the nervous system, especially in the long run,
thus providing opportunities for therapeutic use in clinical psychology. This clinical meditation
is an object of experimental investigation in biological psychology and is not to be confused with
meditation as an exercise of mystic and religious disciplines.
