Mindfulness practices have been the subject of numerous research studies in the last decade. Studies have proven that regular mindfulness practice significantly:
• Reduces stress and reduces levels of anxiety
• Increases immunity
• Improves people’s capacity to emotionally self-regulate and therefore reduce emotional reactivity
• Enhances attention and the ability to focus
• Improves memory, learning, and perception
• Improves sleep quality
• Lowers blood pressure
• Improves the quality of life
• Increases well-being and the senses of meaning and satisfaction
• Positively related to emotional intelligence, openness to experience, psychological flexibility
• Reduce ruminative thinking on the same subject (compulsively focused attention on the symptoms of one’s distress)
• Increase empathy and self-compassion
