According to a survey from Abide, people who practice guided Christian meditation report improved emotional health, including lower stress, better sleep, and reduced depression.
In April 2017, Abide surveyed 216 people who listened to guided Christian meditations. These meditations varied from 2- to 15- minute audio meditations with focused time reflecting on Scripture. These are based on longstanding and popular practices that include focused time reading Scripture, reflecting, and responding (full report).
Key highlights
- 94% of people with mild to chronic stress reported that Christian meditation reduced their stress. More than half said that it helped significantly.
- 80% of people with mild to chronic insomnia said that Christian meditation helped them sleep better.
Examples of how guided Christian meditation has improved mental health:
- “With Abide, I have been able to avoid using medication to induce sleep.”
- “I just had breast cancer and I used it to help me focus and get through it.”
- “It provides peace and tranquility during stressful commutes.”
- “Provided an atmosphere of peace and serenity.”
