Experimental studies have proven the mindfulness influences psychological regulation and awareness. Mindfulness dates back to ancient times all over the world. Mindfulness practices in a variety of forms can be used to cultivate well-being for an individual’s life. Now, science is confirming many of these benefits. Modern studies have shown the improvement of certain brain areas that overall control emotional regulation and all types of processing control. Current studies affirm that long-term improvements in the brain are correlated with any number of steady mindfulness practices. Meditation is a life-changing practice developed by and for humans to better understand their mind, body, and purpose. The manner in which a vast majority of humans …show more content…

The acceptance allows people to engage in prompt regulation with regards to the time course of stimulus processing still being before intense emotional responses occur. Mindfulness is regarded as a preceding practical type of regulation. Studies have produced substantial experimental evidence. They support hypothesis that the practice of contemplative mindfulness can significantly reduce the conditioned responses of the amygdala and limbic system. This allows us a more conscious response to our emotional cues. Another key factor to consider is what brings people to being interested in and having the willing to practice mindfulness when it comes to any emotional factors. Researchers have often suggested that there are indications that mindfulness improves emotion regulation by strengthening executive control functioning. There lies an importance in changing one’s relationship with their emotions in comparison to the basic reasoning of the actual emotions. The data is aiding the research field’s perception to becoming increasingly clear that improved executive control and emotion regulation is reliant upon an ability to adapt to and accept one’s emotional

In our generation with busy schedules and the high influence and use of technology the average attention span of a human is 8 seconds. We are constantly getting distracted by our own thoughts or external influences. We walk outside and we get lost in our thoughts rather than enjoying the weather or taking notice of the things we pass by. Many people tend to choose to live that way though, in a way where they purposefully do not pay attention “Drifting through life on a cushioned surge of impulses is but one of many strategies of forgetting” (58). They want to pick and choose what they remember, they want to ignore the bad and only recognize the good.

An example of when I had to be mindful is in an academic setting when there is a discussion about wearing uniforms. Some students may believe that uniforms are good while others may disagree. In this situation, I tried to understand the opposing side's views and ideas. I listen to their points and I could understand why they believed that uniforms were a bad influence. Taking myself out of the discussion and looking at it from a third-party view I was able to see both sides.

Once we learn to think what comes next. When we say control our thinking we begin the process incorrectly and seldom see the true potential of thought do to our own refusal to learn. We prefer then nice and tidy way that our knowledge has been learned and seldom wish to pursue the reality that we may be wrong. We see Aristotle confirming that contemplative thinking is the way to the highest happiness when he states “Now if we take away from a living being action, and still more production, what is left but contemplation? Therefore the activity of God, which surpasses all others in blessedness, most be contemplative; and of human activities, therefore, that which is most akin to this must be most of the nature of happiness.”

Mindfulness Process Journal 1 Practicing mindfulness has been an important part of my life since I have decided to become a Buddhist. I often heard that mindfulness or meditation although is taught in other cultures, only a portion of mindfulness was emphasized in the practice of mindfulness. One of the reasons I aim to complete this course is to learn about the vocabulary used when teaching mindfulness. I was thrilled by the detailed concepts and the choice of words used to describe mindfulness. In particular, I was amazed by the introduction of mental factors, Four Noble Truths, and the Noble Eightfold path in the concept of mindfulness.

One study titled Mindfulness Interventions with Youth: A Meta-Analysis found that practicing mindfulness “is a well-validated intervention for symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders in adults, with meta-analyses showing moderate effect sizes,” (Goldberg, Hoyt, Miller & Zoogman, 2015). This supports the claims made in 10-Minute Mindfulness: 71 Simple Habits for Living in the Present Moment that “as a byproduct of your efforts [in mindfulness], you will make vast improvements in reducing your anxiety, minimizing stress, and becoming mentally and physically healthier,” (Scott & Davenport, 2017). A separate article titled Effects of Mindfulness on Psychological Health: A Review of Empirical Studies further validates the author’s claims that “mindfulness has been associated with higher levels of satisfaction, agreeableness, conscientiousness, vitality, self-esteem, empathy” and so much more, (Keng, Robins & Smoski, 2013). Evidence-based research strongly corroborates the positive effects that practicing mindfulness has on both the body and

Evidence and research studies to date have shown that both “mantra” and “mindfulness” meditation practices can reduce emotional symptoms such as anxiety, stress and depression as well as relieve physical pain symptoms of a low to a moderate degree. These findings were reported recently in a comparative effectiveness review prepared by Johns Hopkins University (Goyal, et al. 2014). However, the review also pointed out that these studies had significant limitations related to inadequate control comparisons. Furthermore, it was not sure if the positive effects were from the meditation training or the result of the expectations for self-improvement that participants can form while receiving this type of treatment. This research paper investigates

By understanding one’s own emotions, one can also take control of it. According to Maria Heim’s chapter in John Corrigan’s, “The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Emotion,” controlling one’s emotions through mediation can remove many of the negative emotions and thoughts that cause suffering (Heim, pg 25). These emotions are known as experiences in the Abhidhamma , a text which has outlined the meanings of emotions that humans experience in their lifetime. The Abhidhamma acts as a guide to what these experiences mean, and how they can either help, or impede one’s journey to achieving Nirvana. Mainly the Abhidhamma categorizes these human emotions as “good” and “bad” roots.
