Instructions detail techniques for combining zen meditation with behavioral self-control strategies, suggesting potential benefits for clinical and educational use.
In none of this author's previous studies which used Eastern and Western selfcontrol techniques, have the actual contents of the techniques been described in a form which would allow them to be replicated by other psychologists and educators.Therefore, both for clinical and research purposes, the essentials of the techniques, including: 1) a brief introduction to Zen meditation; 2) a description of formal Zen breath meditation; and 3) a description of informal meditation combined behavioral self-control techniques (i.e., "Contingent informal meditation") are briefly summarized.
