Mindfulness

Mindfulness meditation has been associated with more than psychophysiological influence; it has also been linked to cognitive-attentional process. Mindfulness meditation is thought to do this by promoting the development of stable attention and nonjudgmental awareness that mediates effects such as, physical relaxation, emotional balance, behavioral regulation, and changes in self-judgment, self-awareness, and relationships to others. These experiences then act to decrease the experience of stress. This focused attention enables people to disengage from or limit usual emotional or analytical reactivity to the object of attention and to respond more mindfully. This leads to the emphasis on observing the internal body as well as the external environment. This allows for thoughts and emotions to be viewed as opposed to being responded to as “real”.
