“…A range of benefits have been noted for individuals using mindfulness across various studies; many of which are confirmed by more than one study. A sample of these are included here: reduced stress and anxiety (Ludwig & Kabat-Zinn, 2008;Siegel, 2010;Willis, 2007); improved sleep patterns (Britton, Haynes, Fridel, & Bootzin, 2010;Ludwig & Kabat-Zinn, 2008;Yook, et al, 2008); improved attention (Jha, Krompinger & Baime, 2007;Semple & Lee, 2008;Tang, et al, 2007); improved mental outlook (Brown & Langer, 1990;Wenk-Sormaz 2005); learning, memory, attention, sensory processing, empathy and reduced fear (Mental Health Foundation, 2011). Although there are other research investigations that corroborate these findings across different countries, most of these studies have small sample sizes.…”
