“…Of the 17 samples, two 25,26 examined the relationship between trait mindfulness and objective measures of body awareness, seven 26–28,31,34,35 were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing brief mindfulness training, and eight 29,30,35–40 compared long-term practitioners with meditation naïve controls. Trait mindfulness was assessed using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ; k = 1) or Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and Self-Compassion Scale-Mindfulness 41 ( k = 1).…”

“…Despite some promising evidence connecting mindfulness and body awareness, findings from studies directly examining the association between mindfulness and objective measures of body awareness have been mixed. This is the case for studies examining trait mindfulness 25,26 , the experimental effects of mindfulness training 27,28 , and the relationship between long-term training and objective measures of body awareness 29,30 . Thus, it remains unclear if and how mindfulness actually relates to body awareness.…”

Although awareness of bodily sensations is a common mindfulness meditation technique, studies assessing the relationship between mindfulness and body awareness have provided mixed results. The current study sought to meta-analytically examine the relationship between mindfulness operationalized as a dispositional trait or a construct trained through short- (i.e., randomized controlled trials [RCTs]) or long-term mindfulness meditation practice with objective measures of body awareness accuracy. PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Scopus were searched. Studies were eligible if they reported the association between mindfulness and body awareness, were published in English, and included adults. Across 15 studies (17 independent samples), a small effect was found linking mindfulness with greater body awareness accuracy (g = 0.21 [0.08, 0.34], N = 879). When separated by study design, only RCTs continued to show a significant relationship (g = 0.20, [0.02, 0.38], k = 7, n = 505). Heterogeneity of effects was low (I2 < 25%), although with wide confidence intervals. Effects were not moderated by study quality. Low fail-safe N estimates reduce confidence in the observed effects. Results suggest a small but potentially detectable relationship between mindfulness and body awareness accuracy. Future investigations could examine individual differences in body awareness as a mechanism within mindfulness interventions.
