Background and aim: Due to the increasing number of diseases and chronic physical-psychological disorders, the medical community is compelled to use mind and body techniques as complementary treatment methods. Previous studies show the positive effects of prayer on improving the physical and mental health of the praying person. The subject of investigation in this review article is the relationship between the effects of prayer on alpha and gamma brain waves and the increase of relaxation and promotion of positive feelings in people who pray.
Materials and methods: The current study is a comparative and review-type. The contents of the article were collected and deliberated by searching the texts of internet articles, books, and dissertations published in databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect.
Findings: The superiority of performing prayer with contemplation over the effects of yoga, meditation, and imitative prayer is that this type of prayer, at the same time, calms the person praying, and also increases the level of alertness and satisfaction of the person towards himself and others, and it can reduce the occurrence of mental disorders such as depression.
Conclusion: The Iqama of prayer increases the peace and satisfaction of a person in life and can be effective in preventing and treating some mental disorders. |
