The histories, philosophies, different styles and intentions of meditation in Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism are explored. There is disagreement over the possible negative effects of using meditation in psychiatric and psychological therapies, as well as aspects that may make the practice of meditation difficult or inappropriate for some people. These issues are examined and suggestions offered for reducing and reinterpreting some of these negative participant experiences.
