다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: Meditation has been applied to business settings, but there are few precedents in which it has been applied company-wise. The purpose of this case study is to understand the effects of having all employees participate in breathing meditation. Methods: In this case study, posture examination, numbering meditation, naming, smiling, and meditation sitting on a chair were used. Each session would last about three minutes, similar to mini-meditation sessions. It is notable that the core values of the firm are contained within the breathing meditation, which was named Aekyung Breathing after the firm. Aekyung Breathing is recommended before the start of every official meeting, and any member can save the audio instructions on their phone and follow the instructions whenever they want. Since 2014 when the firm first introduced Aekyung Breathing before meetings, the executives of the firm have consistently carried out this measure. Results: The results were a decline in anger levels during meetings leading to smoother proceedings, more considerate treatment of one another, and more open communication. Conclusion: The evaluation of breathing meditation’s effects, from the executives to the members, has mostly been positive. In conclusion, breathing meditation can be effective for meetings, personal relaxation, and other business settings.
