    Open AccessJan Van Der Lans, Frank Kemper et al.ARTICLEArchive for the Psychology of…2000

    A positive correlation between religious participation and subjective well-being has been demonstrated frequently in empirical research among Christian believers. In this article, we demonstrate that this relationship also exists in a Muslim religious context.

    Meditation is approached as a technique for the activation of religious experence. Various theones used in psychology to explain the cognitive changes brought about by meditation are briefly reviewed.
