The science behind mindfulness
Mindfulness is good for us - don't just take my word for it...
In recent year’s huge numbers of scientific studies have taken place into the efficacy of the practice of Mindfulness in helping reduce the effects of stress and anxiety and improve wellbeing. Some of these claims are so incredible they may seem too good to believe so I have provide links to the scientific studies that back them up. You can download the pdf at the bottom of this page for full references (exciting stuff if you like a bit of science!).
Here are a few of the main proven benefits of mindfulness meditation:
- Anxiety, stress, depression, exhaustion and irritability all decrease with regular sessions of mindfulness meditation. 1
- Regular meditators are happier and more contented, while being far less likely to suffer from psychological distress. 2
- Mindfulness is at least as good as drugs or counselling for the treatment of clinical-level depression. 3
