A review of 15 peer-reviewed studies from 2015 to 2020 examined diverse meditation practices beyond mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Loving-kindness, Mantra Meditation, and Vipassana from countries such as Portugal, Brazil, India, and Pakistan. All approaches reported positive therapeutic outcomes for 768 participants. The review synthesized these findings to create a broader, globally informed definition of meditation for health-related clinical practice.
