Immediate effect of chakra beeja mantra chanting on HRV and GSR among patients with hypertension - A randomized pilot study

Hypertension is a medical condition characterized by abnormally high arterial blood pressure, with an estimated 1.39 billion people globally suffering from it in 2010. The prevalence of hypertension has increased, particularly in lower- and middle-income countries. Integrative medicine (CAM) therapies, such as naturopathy, ayurveda, breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, mantra chanting, diet therapy, herbal remedies, acupuncture, spiritual therapies, manipulative therapeutics, homeopathy, and essential oils, have been found to be effective in managing hypertension. Yoga, a complementary and alternative therapy method, has been shown to have benefits for hypertension management. Chakra meditation, a technique that uses specific mantras for each of the body’s seven chakras, has been studied for its effects on heart rate variability and galvanic skin response. This study aims to assess the immediate effects of chakra beeja mantra meditation on these factors in hypertensive individuals. The study will use Power Lab 15T to record heart rate variability and galvanic skin response (GSR), which is the alteration of the skin’s electrical characteristics in response to stress and emotional stimulation.
