BACKGROUND: In today's scenario, we see only a few completely healthy people. Others are afflicted with many physical and psychological problems. Other than communicable and infectious diseases or any injury, the main reason for all the non-communicable diseases is severe stress load. This stress, if left untreated, causes hurdles in living life to the fullest by causing hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, heart problems, neurological disorders, and many other disorders. It is also evident that, no doubt, allopathic medicines are very successful in curbing the symptoms of diseases; they have an adverse impact on human beings as side effects. Other alternative therapies like yoga, naturopathy, ayurveda, etc., and following a good lifestyle have improved health. According to WHO, health is not merely the absence of disease; it's the state of complete physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. Yoga is evident in its effect on the mind, body, and consciousness. Meditation has a very calming and relaxing effect on the whole being. Both healthy and unhealthy people practice different meditations, and they have miraculous impacts on improving their well-being. One of the most prevalent meditations is the MIND SOUND RESONANCE TECHNIQUE, developed by SVYASA, BANGALORE. This review article explores its potential in improving various aspects of the mind, body, and consciousness. METHODS: We conducted this narrative review using published PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar literature. The main author also performed the screening. Other potentially eligible citations were also included. If the references of included articles were found helpful for the review, they were also searched. Relevant ancient books were also cited in the review. OBSERVATIONS: MSRT is a non-invasive, cost-effective, and easily applicable practice by people of even old age. Studies indicate that it contributes to better life quality by improving sleep quality and alleviating stress, depression, and anxiety caused either due to physical or psychological reasons. It also improves cognitive abilities (attention, concentration and executive functions), frontal hemodynamic activity of the brain, respiration, heart rate variability (HRV) and mindfulness. It has relieved psychological states like perceived stress, Anxiety, psychological distress, fatigue and Self-esteem. It was also helpful in relieving common neck pain. CONCLUSION: This review paves the way for further research on MSRT as a potential intervention for treating more fatal diseases like cancer. It encourages the researchers to find a more scientific understanding of its mechanism.
