In this research, the relationship between a three-day sitting meditation fasting called Zazen Fasting and a participant’s psychophysiological conditions was examined. The subject was in a group of 50 adults in Matsumoto, Japan between 12
th
and 14
th
of January 2014. The fingertip pulse wave of the subject was measured for use as biological data before, during and after the therapy. The measured values were subjected to chaos analysis and the Lyapunov exponents calculated. The results showed that Lyapunov exponents became higher after the subject took the Zazen Fasting.
