Mindfulness meditation

Mindfulness meditation is the process of accomplishing mindfulness through the practice of meditation. Its purpose is to become aware of what is currently happening around the practitioner as opposed to focusing on something different than the present. Mindfulness meditation is also used along with body awareness and yoga as a method for mindfulness-based stress reduction. A study published by JAMA Internal Medicine in 2014 suggests that mindfulness meditation reduces anxiety, depression, and pain.

Mindfulness meditation can be performed through a series of different techniques and focuses on feelings rather than thinking. It does not require special circumstances and can be accomplished with breathing techniques. Beginning with body relaxation, the mind is directed towards deeper feelings in the heart, with the hopes of letting go of mental attachments and worries.
