“…Buddhist philosophy and practices teach a way of being present in the moment and letting go of the overreliance that humans tend to have on a sense of individualized identity (as a ‘thinker of thoughts’) in favor of a broader connection to a sense of oneness and integration with all things ( Shonin, Van Gordon, & Griffiths, 2014 ). However, Trammel (2017) notes that mindfulness has entered into secular practice and mainstream culture in recent decades. There has been valid concern about the ways in which the authenticity of Buddhist truths might be stripped of their original values through this mainstreaming of mindfulness.…”

“…Our results also reflect those of Pearce, Haynes, Rivera, and Koenig's study (2018), which demonstrated that Spiritually Integrated Cognitive Processing Therapy (SICPT) was effective in reducing PTSD. The positive effects of spiritual-based interventions using different religious approaches, such as Mahayana Buddhist intervention and Christian mindfulness intervention, have been demonstrated in many studies (Trammel, 2017;Wu et al, 2019). Moreover, a correlational study showed a link between religiosity and the components of subjective well-being, suggesting that religious individuals tend to be more satisfied with their lives than those who are less religious (Gull & Dawood, 2013).…”

This research is based on the tragedy of a road traffic accident that led to a student's death. Her classmates felt lost and experienced symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The purpose of the study is to examine the effectiveness of repentance and istighfar therapy to prevent PTSD. The research was based on a quasi-experimental design that consisted of six sessions in three meetings and homework for four weeks. The study participants were 14 students who experienced PTSD symptoms. They completed a scale before the intervention (pre-test), after completion of the intervention (post-test), and three weeks after the post-test. The paired sample test analysis results show that there were significant differences in the trauma scores pre-therapy and post-therapy. The effect size estimation results show that the effect of repentance and istighfar therapy was in the large effect size category; that is, 80.9% of the trauma variations could be explained (caused) by repentance therapy and istighfar. The research implies that such therapy can be predicted to be effective in reducing psychological disorders, as long as they are willing to be seriously involved in each stage of the therapy process that has been determined.

“…Theoretically, mindfulness is a practice rooted in spirituality (Trammel, 2017). However, the practice of mindfulness integrates varied elements that are foundational to many spiritual/religious practices.…”

“…In contrast, low trait mindfulness indicates that a person infrequently pays attention and awareness to the present moment and operates more on "auto-pilot" (Brown & Ryan, 2003). Curating self-awareness is integral for mindfulness and is consistent in other spiritual/religious applications of breath, reverence, and solitude to create a deeper relationship to a higher power (Lutz, et al, 2015;Trammel, 2017). In sum, this may suggest that mindfulness is not ascribed to any religious tradition and can also be understood from a more secular point of view in the use of varied populations of practitioners (Siegel, 2007).…”

This paper describes the results of a research survey that interpreted the patterns of mindfulness and spirituality within a convenience sample of preservice teachers at a Midwest teacher education institution. Mindfulness and spiritualty represent topics of developing interest in teacher education that serve to increase candidate focus and revision of practice. Respondents completed a survey as part of a semester’s project that interpreted the results of a semester-long mindfulness intervention on student mindfulness and spiritual attitudes and practices. The findings determined that participants had senses of mindfulness and self the emphasized themselves, and their external worlds, let weak connection with a higher spiritual entity. Significant differences were observed between early childhood and elementary majors.
