Abstract
Background: Regular practice of heartfulness meditation causes a balanced mental state and releases stress. Due to this action, meditation can improve the cognitive functions of individuals.

Materials and Methods: The study involved 40 patients with Type 2 diabetes including both males and females and age groups from 30 to 60 years. After recruiting, the participants were randomly divided into two groups with 20 participants in each group. All the participants of Group 1 were given training about practicing heartfulness meditation for initial 3 days. From then, they started practicing meditation under the supervision of experts from 6:30 to 7:30 am in the morning. Outcome measures were recorded by standard tools.

Results: Significant decrease was observed in the depression, anxiety, and stress scores and significant improvement in spatial and verbal memory was observed.

Conclusion: Heartfulness meditation practice has a positive impact on the management of psychological disorders and improving cognitive functions. There is a need for a detailed study.

Key words: Heartfulness Meditation; Stress; Memory; Diabetes
