Mindfulness meditation is very popular today. The term “mindfulness” is a Western term used in Buddhist techniques (taken from the practice of yoga meditation) that are currently fully and non-judgmentally aware. The method of mindfulness meditation is to sit comfortably, focus on breathing patterns, and bring mental awareness to the present without worrying about the past or future of life.

When you are fully aware of this now, you will focus on the current moment and become reflexive rather than reactive. Practice makes it easy for us to keep ourselves away from them without tagging our thoughts and feelings as good or bad. Practicing mindfulness meditation brings emotional as well as physical and mental benefits and frees you from long-term anger, depression, or depression.

There are two types of intervention. Mindfulness practices focus on current mental health and therapy work.

• Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) Interventions that include daily mindfulness exercises and meditation for practicing at home. This guides people to increase their mindfulness through yoga and meditation and helps release the stress-causing, stuck emotions.
• Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) Is an intervention that combines MBSR with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat people with depression and anxiety.

How can it help relieve anxiety and stress?

When you listen to your thoughts and feelings, you will reach the point of acceptance and forgiveness. In addition, when you witness the experience you have experienced, you “separate” yourself from the incident that allows you to dial down the body’s response to the stress you are experiencing.

By becoming aware of your body and thoughts, you will be present at that moment without having to judge yourself. As a result, the stress response is reduced and oxygen is increased. If you do this on a regular basis, various studies will change the stress pathways in your brain and change the structure of your brain that is associated with emotional regulation.
