“…Mindfulness training may improve the ability to strengthen the attentional processes, which not only promotes the executive functioning of children from EDFs but also improves parents' self-regulation of attention in response to their child's challenging behavior and alters the dysfunctional patterns in parenting behavior (Bögels, Lehtonen, & Restifo, 2010). Mindfulness thus promotes overall family relationship quality, as it not only enhances the sensitivity and responsiveness of a parent in promoting their child's development but also promotes the ability to cope with adversity (Rigby, Schultz, & Ryan, 2014).…”

Objective: To evaluate the effects of family-based mindfulness intervention (FBMI) to promote the stress management and early development of economically disadvantaged families. Method: Families receiving social security allowance and full textbook allowance and with children aged 5–7 were recruited. Participants were randomized to an FBMI with parallel programs for parents and children ( n = 51) and to a wait-list control condition ( n = 51). Results: Intent-to-treat analyses showed more significant improvements in child attention, self-regulation, and in parenting stress, in the intervention group than in the control group. At-risk group analyses showed that the high stress group benefited in small to moderate effect sizes in parenting stress and depression, and in moderate to large effect sizes in child behavioral problem and self-regulation. Conclusions: The results provide preliminary support that FBMI can alleviate the impact of economic disadvantage. FBMI should be applied in social work practice to support disadvantaged families.

“…Researchers (e.g., [14,20,21]) suggest that mindfulness may enhance one’s receptivity to events and experiences. When there is mindful nonjudgmental awareness of one’s inherent needs, ego-involvement is less likely to dominate intra-psychic interactions; as a result, one is more likely to act autonomously.…”

“…In addition, when mindful, the individual has greater capacity to perceive feedback as being informational rather than controlling, because the individual is less likely to feel ego-involved in the feedback. Thus, mindfulness allows for feedback to enhance autonomy and competence [20,21]. On the satisfaction of relatedness, Rigby et al [20] explained that when one is able to be fully in the moment, unburdened by rigidity in thinking, defensive ego protections or other preconceptions that people often bring to interpersonal interaction, one would be in a position to respond connectedly.…”

Grounded in self-determination theory, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between autonomy-supportive teaching, mindfulness, and basic psychological need satisfaction/frustration. Secondary school students (n = 390, Mage = 15) responded to a survey form measuring psychological constructs pertaining to the research purpose. A series of multiple regression analysis showed that autonomy-supportive teaching and mindfulness positively predicted need satisfaction and negatively predicted need frustration. In addition, the associations between autonomy-supportive teaching and need satisfaction/frustration were moderated by mindfulness. Students higher in mindfulness were more likely to feel need satisfaction and less likely to experience need frustration, even in a low autonomy-supportive teaching environment. These results speak to the relevance of creating autonomy-supportive teaching environments and highlight mindfulness as a potential pathway to basic psychological need satisfaction in educational settings.

“…Different forms of meditation foster relaxation to variable degrees. This variation may often be attributed to individual factors, rather than necessarily the intrinsic characteristics of meditation—the same applies to meditative labyrinth walking [22,23].…”

Effects of Reflective Labyrinth Walking Assessed Using a Questionnaire

et al. 2018

Background: Meditation as it is currently known is an ancient practice, which can be traced back to Asian traditions. With the proper technique, a state of physical relaxation and respiratory balance can be reached naturally and spontaneously. This paper considers meditative labyrinth walking to be a unique expression of Dr. Lauren Artress’ work, who studied and applied the image of the labyrinth on the floor of the Chartres Cathedral in France. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach. It is a cross-sectional non-randomized study, conducted at an institute for psychotherapies with a sample of 30 participants. Results: 99% of the group reported feeling emotional distress caused by the feeling of a longer walk on the way out, 21% reported feeling the same while walking the path, and 41% at the beginning. The remaining participants felt lost in time and space. Conclusions: This study showed that the practice of labyrinth walking is a physical, emotional, and sensory experience. On the clinical level, correlating this experience to the planning of care seems to be particularly relevant.
