Mindfulness meditation is a secular meditation technique adapted from Buddhism that entails being in the present moment and maintaining a nonjudgmental alertness to one’s thoughts, feelings, sensations, or breath.[1] Mindful meditation can become "a mental position for being able to separate a given experience from an associated emotion, and can facilitate a skilful or mindful response to a given situation."[1][2]
Nature of the practice
Mindfulness meditation is often practiced sitting with eyes closed, perhaps cross-legged on a cushion, maybe on a chair, with the back straight. Attention is put on the sensation of breathing. As thoughts come up, one returns to focusing on breathing. One passively notices one's mind has wandered, but in an accepting, non-judgmental way. Meditators start with short periods of 10 minutes or so a day. As one practices regularly, it becomes easier to keep the attention focused on breathing.[2]
Research on effects
Mindfulness meditation, delivered as part of a treatment, does not help treat substance abuse disorders.[1]
