Exploring the Growing Body of Research on the Benefits of Mindfulness for Health and Happiness
Mindfulness has become a buzzword in recent years, with many people turning to this practice as a way to reduce stress, improve focus, and increase overall well-being. But what is mindfulness, and how does it work? In this article, we'll explore the science behind mindfulness, and why this practice has become so popular in recent years.
What is Mindfulness?
First, let's define what we mean by mindfulness. According to the American Psychological Association, mindfulness is "a moment-to-moment awareness of one's experience without judgment." In other words, it involves paying attention to the present moment, and accepting it without trying to change or analyze it.
Where Did It Come From?
The roots of mindfulness can be traced back to ancient Buddhist teachings, but in recent years, it has become increasingly popular in the Western world. This is due in part to the growing body of scientific research that has demonstrated the many benefits of mindfulness.
Benefit of Mindfulness
One of the key benefits of mindfulness is its ability to reduce stress. When we practice mindfulness, we focus our attention on the present moment, rather than worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. This can help to reduce feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
In fact, a study published in the journal Mindfulness found that participants who completed an eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction program reported significantly lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression than those in a control group. Another study published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience found that mindfulness meditation can help to reduce activity in the amygdala, the part of the brain that is responsible for the "fight or flight" response to stress.
But the benefits of mindfulness go beyond just reducing stress. Research has also shown that mindfulness can improve cognitive function and increase focus. For example, a study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found that just 10 minutes of mindfulness meditation can improve cognitive control and increase attention span.
Furthermore, mindfulness has been shown to have physical benefits as well. A study published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology found that mindfulness meditation can reduce inflammation in the body, which is associated with a wide range of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
So How Does Mindfulness Work?
One theory is that it works by changing the structure and function of the brain. Research has shown that regular mindfulness practice can increase activity in the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that is responsible for executive function, decision-making, and emotional regulation.
In addition, mindfulness has been shown to increase activity in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that is responsible for learning and memory. This may explain why mindfulness has been shown to improve cognitive function and increase focus.
But perhaps the most important aspect of mindfulness is its ability to increase self-awareness and promote emotional regulation. By paying attention to the present moment without judgment, we become more aware of our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. This increased awareness can help us to identify negative thought patterns and emotional triggers, and develop more positive coping mechanisms.
Overall, the science behind mindfulness is still in its early stages, but the evidence so far suggests that it can have a wide range of benefits for both physical and mental health. Whether you're new to mindfulness or have been practicing for years, there are many resources available to help you incorporate this practice into your daily routine.
Some helpful resources for learning more about mindfulness include the books "Full Catastrophe Living" by Jon Kabat-Zinn and "The Mindful Way Through Depression" by Mark Williams, John Teasdale, Zindel Segal, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. I, myself, offer an online class that can guide you through a mindfulness meditation 15 minute exercise, and there are many smartphone apps including Headspace, Calm, and Insight Timer.
Conclusion
The science behind mindfulness suggests that this practice has the potential to offer a wide range of benefits, from reducing stress and anxiety to improving cognitive function and physical health. By incorporating mindfulness into our daily lives, we can cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and emotional regulation, and improve our overall well-being.
So why not give mindfulness a try? Whether you have a few minutes or a few hours to spare, there are many ways to incorporate this practice into your daily routine. Whether it's through my guided meditation or simply taking a few moments to pay attention to your breath, the benefits of mindfulness are available to anyone who is willing to give it a try.

🌙. Receive a 60 minute Emotion Code session for anxiety relief. This session will feel like you’ve gifted yourself with a bouquet of beautiful 🌺 flowers. You may have a feeling you can’t quite put your finger on that something is getting in the way of your success, your goals, and your dreams.
🌙. I want to help hold a safe space for you to go deep into your truth and your shadow to uncover what it is. This emotional clearing session is like shining a flashlight on your stuck emotions causing negative patterns, self sabotage, or fear of success. As we shine a light we create movement so we can let go of what we don’t want.
🌙. If we don’t process our old emotional wounds, when life throws curves at us, it is like having a wound on our body and throwing salt in it. It stings. Instead of ignoring that comment someone made, it brings us back to the time of the wound in the past even if we don’t realize it. Subconscious emotions are stored in our body and brain where they can bubble to the surface.
🌙. We will identify exactly what stuck emotions are getting in the way of you feeling calm and relaxed using the Emotion Code framework and clear those. We will also do a short guided exercise/meditation where I will send reiki to both your nervous system and any past events that need healing as well.
🌙. You are precious; treat yourself accordingly. You are worth taking the time to treat yourself to self-care. What can you take off your plate to make room for taking care of yourself and remembering your magic?
🌙. Our bodies are 55% water and we need plenty of pure, filtered water every day so please hydrate well before and during your session.
🌙. I will share what came up, what shifted, and how to do easy self care to keep your energy and emotions flowing and clear.
Feel free to reach out with any questions. Love, Sara
