“…These studies have found mindfulness-based practices effective for people to reduce stress. In Korea, research on the effects of mindfulness practices on psychological and physical aspects has been rapidly increasing among adults, including university students [18][19][20]. However, studies of mindfulness practice's influence on brain waves (central nervous system; CNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) among Korean university students are still lacking.…”

Background: Mindfulness, defined as the awareness emerging from purposefully paying attention to the present moment, has been shown to be effective in reducing stress and, thus, promoting psychological well-being. This study investigated the effects of a mindfulness-based education program on mindfulness, brain waves, and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in university students in Korea. Methods: This study is a quantitative and experimental research with a single-group pre-post design. Six sessions of mindfulness-based intervention were applied. In total, 42 students completed a mindfulness questionnaire before and after the intervention, and 28 among them completed pre-intervention and post-intervention measures of brain waves and ANS. Results: The level of mindfulness increased in the participants after intervention. Regarding brain waves, the alpha and theta waves increased, but the beta waves decreased. There was no significant difference in the ANS, presenting no change in heart rate variability. Conclusions: We identified the positive effects of the mindfulness-based education program for university students. The findings indicate that this program may help students not only relax, but also generate a mindfulness state in stressful situations, potentially leading to a successful university life. This study can be used as a basis for quality improvement and sustainability of mindfulness-based education programs for university students.

“…In particular, thanks to Kabat Zinn's MBSR, mindfulness meditation has proved its efficacy in medicine beyond religious boundaries. Moreover, in South Korea, MBSR has been introduced, modified, and applied to various fields (e.g., medicine, education) by constituting a "Korean Version of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction" (K-MBSR) (Bae and Chang 2006;Yoon 2014). Mindfulness, which was passed from Asia to the West, is returning from the West to the East again.…”

In this article, I argue that “mindfulness of death” (maraṇasati) can be a tool to induce mortality salience and can have a positive psychological impact. The mindfulness of death is described in detail in the early Buddhist texts Aṅguttara Nikāya and Visuddhimagga. The texts stress that death should be consciously connected with temporality and mindfulness. Here, I look at the mindfulness of death in relation to the mortality salience of terror management theory. “Mortality salience” is a term proposed in terror management theory that means “the state of conscious activation of the thoughts of death”. In addition, after conscious activation of the thought of death, I examine the psychological changes, such as the increase of pro-social attitudes which emphasizes ethics and morality, and the emphasis on the intrinsic value of life due to the operation of a cultural worldview and self-esteem. In this paper, I conclude that mindfulness of death can be an effective tool to induce mortality salience.

“…The effectiveness of mindfulness in reducing stress has been validated through various research studies ( Yoon, 2014 ; Gotink et al, 2015 ). Based on previous research, we can expect that mindfulness will also have an impact on stress reduction among the elderly population ( Jeun and Son, 2012 ; Lee et al, 2021 ; Kim and Kim, 2023 ).…”

Stress has been shown to enhance elderly suicidal ideation. However, the effect of mindfulness and meaning in life on the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation in Korean baby boomers are still unknown. This study investigated (a) a significant correlation between the stress, suicidal ideation, mindfulness, and meaning in life, (b) the mediating effect of mindfulness in the association between stress and suicidal ideation, and (c) the serial mediating effect of mindfulness and then meaning in life on the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation. Data were collected from 200 baby boomers (born between 1955–1963) concerning their stress, mindfulness, meaning in life, and suicidal ideation. These findings suggest that if interventions directed at baby boomers can successfully improve their mindfulness and by extension raise their meaning in life, suicidal ideation will decrease within their population.
