“…For example, the subtheme 'Being together' maps onto the factor of 'Cohesiveness' as participants felt a sense of belonging to the group and valued the group. Indeed, there is also evidence to suggest that engaging in mindfulness as a group can enhance group cohesion (Cleirigh and Greaney, 2015) and as such, the mindfulness activities may have also contributed to this process. The subtheme 'I got to do it with my friends' has some similarities to Yalom's group factor; 'Development of Socialising Techniques,' as the group provided an opportunity to increase the participants' social repertoire.…”

The present study explored service users' experiences of a mindfulness group intervention. Design/Methodology: Fifteen participants with a diagnosis of a mild or moderate intellectual disability and concurrent mental health difficulties were interviewed about their experiences of a mindfulness group. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the data. The three super ordinate themes that emerged were Positive aspects of mindfulness, Positive aspects of attending the group and Negative aspects of attending the group. There were seven subordinate themes. Findings: The results highlighted that participants found the mindfulness group to be beneficial, partly due to specific aspects of the mindfulness intervention and partly due to the group process. The negative aspects of the group were harder to elicit, and were less specifically related to mindfulness. Originality/Value: Mindfulness-based interventions have emerged as a promising approach for individuals with intellectual disabilities with mental health difficulties. There is currently a lack of research exploring the views service users with intellectual disabilities regarding their experiences of mindfulness interventions.

A Moment of Mindfulness: Computer-Mediated Mindfulness Practice Increases State Mindfulness

Three studies investigated the use of a 5-minute, computer-mediated mindfulness practice in increasing levels of state mindfulness. In Study 1, 54 high school students completed the computer-mediated mindfulness practice in a lab setting and Toronto Mindfulness Scale (TMS) scores were measured before and after the practice. In Study 2 (N = 90) and Study 3 (N = 61), the mindfulness practice was tested with an entirely online sample to test the delivery of the 5-minute mindfulness practice via the internet. In Study 2 and 3, we found a significant increase in TMS scores in the mindful condition, but not in the control condition. These findings highlight the impact of a brief, mindfulness practice for single-session, computer-mediated use to increase mindfulness as a state.

“…Otros estudios han señalado que la atención plena se vincula con actitudes más positivas de los líderes hacia los subordinados (Reb et al, 2014), reducción de la rumiación, autorregulación y emoción negativa (Long y Christian, 2015), mejor comunicación, reducción de conflictos, disminución de la reactividad emocional y mayor compasión y empatía (Quaglia, Goodman y Brown, 2015), así como una optimización en la comunicación social y emocional (Wachs y Córdova, 2007), mayor cohesión y trabajo equipo (Cleirigh y Greaney, 2014), y gestión positiva de los conflictos (Galinsky, Maddux, Gilin y White, 2008). También ayuda a la disminución del burnout laboral (Flook, Goldberg, Pinger, Bonus y Davidson, 2013), del estrés percibido (Roeser et al, 2013), de los estados de ánimo negativos (Roche, Haar y Luthans, 2014), y genera una mejora en los patrones de sueño (Hülsheger et al, 2014), mayor satisfacción y menos agotamiento en el trabajo (Hülsheger et al, 2013).…”

Mindfulness, qigong and their impact on health Mindfulness or full attention traces its origins to Tibetan Buddhism, and constitutes a form of meditation focused on breathing and a form of body scan which significantly impacts on the strengthening of health and the decreasing of disease symptoms. Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of Taoist origin that promotes health maintenance, healing and increase in vitality, based on respiration, posture and movement. In the West, more attention has been paid to the mindfulness tradition than to the qigong. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the combination of both millenary techniques may have a greater impact on and benefit to health. They both correlate, base their techniques on meditation, and their combination may prove beneficial to reduce stress and promote well-being.
