Mindfulness
Mindfulness is an ancient practice that has been used for thousands of years in Eastern cultures, particularly Buddhism, as a way to achieve inner peace and spiritual enlightenment. However, it has recently been adapted for modern-day use and has been found to have numerous health benefits. One of the most popular and widely researched mindfulness-based interventions are Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is another mindfulness-based intervention that has gained popularity in recent years. Mindfulness has also been integrated in various domains like education, workplace, children and adolescents, addiction and recovery, chronic pain management, cancer patients and survivors, veterans and military personnel, pregnancy and childbirth, aging and end-of-life care, diverse communities and populations, neuroscience, technology, corporate culture, leadership development, creativity, decision making, emotional intelligence, spiritual development, and social change.
