Effects of Sahaja Yoga Meditation on personality

A study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience compared 25 meditators of Sahaja Yoga to a group of 25 comparison subjects who did not practice Meditation on a range of trait personality measures.

The long-term Meditators scored significantly lower in personality features of anxiety, neuroticism, psychoticism, and depression and scored higher in emotion recognition and expression.

This suggests that long-term Meditation practice leads to higher psycho-emotional stability and better emotional skills.
