After months of meticulous preparation and intensive pretesting, we are finally launching our worldwide meditation survey! A big shoutout to our wonderful project team, our diligent research assistants and all the kind people who agreed to test the survey and provide feedback. Your help has been invaluable.

We invite meditators and those interested in meditation in all of its amazing varieties to participate in this one-of-a-kind study! It doesn’t matter how long you have been practicing, which techniques you use or traditions you follow, or for what reasons you are meditating – all are welcome.

As part of this study, we will ask you to complete a questionnaire on several occasions. First, right now, and then again after 6 and 12 months. The questionnaire consists of two parts. Each part takes about 15-20 minutes to complete, the whole questionnaire takes about 30-45 minutes. During the survey, you can decide whether you wish to complete both parts.

The survey is available in nine languages: English, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and French.

As a thank you, you can receive a personal evaluation of various dimensions of your personality and win one of 60 gift vouchers worth €100, which you can redeem personally or donate to your meditation community.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please share this post and invite other meditators to join this exiting research!
