What is mindfulness meditation?
Mindfulness meditation is a Westernised approach with eastern influences, which derives from ancient Buddhist, Hindu, and Chinese philosophies and meditation practices. Mindfulness meditation can be described as a practice of mental discipline that includes the ability to regulate attention and emotion. It is called a practice because it is a continuous process of learning and exploration without a means to an end. It can be practiced sitting or lying down and the practice circulates around concentrating one’s attention on a specific focus point such as the breath for example.
Why practice mindfulness meditation?
Mindfulness meditation encourages an attitude of non-judgment, openness, and acceptance. The practice can be suggested as a method for supporting the practitioner in developing a less reactive approach to thoughts, feelings, and sensations. This can in turn support the practitioner to become more mindful of their inner and outer experiences, as well as their choices and actions. The practice also serves to nurture one’s ability to practice self-acceptance, as well as to sustain a compassionate attitude towards oneself and other people.
Research also suggests that mindfulness meditation helps to:
- Promote relaxation
- Reduce anxiety symptoms
- Reduce stress symptoms
- Elevate heart rate variability
- Improve emotion regulation
- Increase introspective awareness
- Increase well-being
