An existential-phenomenological methodology was utilized to investigate the experience of meditation for female survivors of intimate partner violence. Six coresearchers were taught a form of concentrative meditation and were asked to meditate daily and to attend a weekly group meditation for 6 weeks. Semistructured interviews were utilized to gather the data. The essence of the experience that was revealed was the emergence of a centered awareness that is distinctly different from the usual mode of being in the world. Findings suggest the value of meditation as an intervention strategy with survivors and demonstrate the need for further research in this area.
采用存在主义现象学方法来调查亲密伴侣暴力女性幸存者的冥想体验。六名共同研究者学习了一种集中式冥想形式，并被要求每天冥想，每周参加一次集体冥想，持续6周。采用半结构化访谈来收集数据。所揭示的体验的本质是一种中心意识的出现，它与通常在世界中的存在方式明显不同。研究结果表明冥想作为一种干预策略对幸存者具有价值，并证明了在这一领域进行进一步研究的必要性。
