Description

The field of meditation has become an increasingly important area of research to the field of psychology as evidence mounts of the benefits provided regarding both physical and mental health. Although there has been some study of long-term meditators, the majority of studies have focused on the areas of Transcendental or Buddhist meditation practice with individuals who began practice as an adult or were raised outside of the United States. The unprogrammed meeting Quaker sect, also known as The Society of Friends, is of interest due to their unusual approach to developing spirituality through shared silent worship. The Quakers are the only known group to raise children with such a practice within the United States and have not been studied in this context. A qualitative heuristic research methodology was utilized to discover the meaning and essence of the experience of being raised in Quaker silent meeting, in order to begin to understand the impact of raising children in the United States from birth with a silent practice. Ten individuals raised from birth in Quaker silent meeting were interviewed to better understand the developmental impact of being raised in Quaker silent meeting. The researcher's experience was also included. Being born and raised into Quaker silent meeting develops a way of being that consists of valuable traits from focused attention, listening, commitment to equality, universal connectedness, strength, genuine belief of that of God in everyone and empathy, and living consciously. The results of this study indicate the importance of including the Quakers, as a population, into the positive psychology and meditation research as well as providing some insight into a path that can contribute to increasing resilience in children. -- Author's abstract.
