“…Meditation is an ancient practice which has its roots in India about 2,500 years ago and it has been perpetuated until today in various form and through different traditions. Only in the last few decades, meditation has gained consideration in the academic world, given the arising of scientific evidences regarding its beneficial effects on psychological, neurological, endocrine and immune variables, as well as positive influence on well-being and a broad range of biological processes (Paul-Labrador et al, 2006;Rubik, 2011;Bai et al, 2015;Aherne et al, 2016;Chiesa et al, 2017;Wood et al, 2017). Thanks to this evidence, nowdays, meditation practice is frequently integrated in contemporary psychotherapy treatments and used to enhance well-being in several medical conditions and to improve quality of life.…”

The practice of meditation has been historically linked to beneficial effects, not only in terms of spirituality but also in terms of well-being, general improvement of psychophysiological conditions and quality of life. The present study aims to assess the beneficial effects of a short-term intervention (a combination of 12 practical 1-h sessions of meditation, called Integral Meditation, and lectures on neuroscience of meditation) on psychological indicators of well-being in subjects from the general population. We used a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design, in which all participants (n = 41, 17 men and 24 women, with a mean age of 41.1 years) underwent the same intervention. Out of these, 24 had already experienced meditation practice, but only 12 in a continuative way. Effects were assessed by the standardized Italian version of three self-report questionnaires: Core Outcome in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM), Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). The questionnaires were filled in at baseline and immediately after the last meditation session. Linear mixed effect models were used to evaluate prepost treatment changes on each outcome. Participants showed a general, close to a statistically significant threshold, improvement in the total score of CORE-OM and its different domains. The total score of FFMQ (β = 0.154, p = 0.012) indicates a statistically significant increase in the level of mindfulness as well as in the domains acting with awareness (β = 0.212, p = 0.024), and non-judging of inner experiences (β = 0.384, p < 0.0001). Lastly, we observed a statistically significant improvement in the cognitive reappraisal ERQ domain (β = 0.541, p = 0.0003). Despite some limitations (i.e., small sample size, lack of a randomised control group and sole use of "soft" measurements, such as self-report questionnaires), this study offers promising results regarding the within-subject effectiveness of our intervention that includes a meditation practice on psychological indicators, thus providing interesting preliminary results.

“…Research on mindfulness meditation has increased exponentially over the past decade in many sub‐disciplines of psychology (Chiesa, Fazia, Bernardinelli, & Morandi, ). Indeed, by 2010, enough research was accumulating to prompt the creation of an academic journal entirely devoted to mindfulness ( Mindfulness ).…”

Popular and empirical interest in mindfulness meditation has increased rapidly over the last decades. In particular, mindfulness meditation has been utilized as the basis of numerous treatments for physical and mental health issues, and many of these meditation‐based treatments have demonstrated empirical evidence of their efficacy. However, less empirical attention has been devoted to how mindfulness meditation impacts non‐clinical populations. One growing area of research that tackles this question is research on mindfulness induction tasks—brief, low‐intensity, meditation activities that people can do in their controlled scientific laboratories or in their daily lives. In this article, we review this small but burgeoning literature, focusing on the benefits of brief mindfulness induction tasks for cognition, emotional, social, and health outcomes. In addition, we describe substantive challenges and future directions for this area of research and discuss how this research may inform the mindfulness literature more broadly.

“…An analysis of 1056 articles published in the journal Mindfulness during 2010–2019 showed a few salient trends: increased diversification of the topics being explored as shown by the greater variety of recurring keywords and an increase in the proportion of articles from Asia were noted (Toniolo–Barrios et al, 2020 ). An analysis of trends in systematic reviews on mindfulness revealed an average increase of 19% per year in the number of reviews published from 2003 to 2015 (Chiesa et al, 2017 ). A study by Valerio ( 2016 ) demonstrated how mindfulness literature has become “disembedded” from Buddhist contexts over time: The ratio of literature on Buddhism to that on mindfulness flipped from 4.6:1 before 2008 to 1:1.8 over the following 5 years, and the meditation-to-mindfulness publication ratio dropped from 12.9:1 in 1993–1997 to approximately 1:1 around 2010.…”

Objectives This study aimed to identify historical developments, active research areas, and emerging trends within scientific literature on mindfulness published so far, using bibliometric methods. We also aimed to identify prominent journals, authors, organizations, and countries in the field of mindfulness. Methods Articles or reviews which mention mindfulness in the title, abstract, or keywords were identified using the Web of Science. A descriptive summary of the literature was obtained from the Web of Science Analysis tool. Country collaboration, co-authorship, and keyword co-occurrence networks were visualized using VOSviewer. CiteSpace, which uses document co-citation analysis, was used to identify emerging trends and transient patterns in the literature. Results From 1966 to 2021, 16,581 publications on mindfulness were identified. There has been an exponential growth of publications since 2006. Almost half (47%) of the publications were in psychology and about one-fifth (20.8%) in psychiatry. The most prolific journal was Mindfulness (contributing 7% of all publications) and the most prolific author was Eric L. Garland. The vast majority of publications originated from Western countries but representation from Asian countries has increased. The most frequently co-occurring keywords were meditation, depression, stress, and anxiety. Co-citation analysis of the early period revealed how scholarly work on spiritual themes has inspired early mindfulness research. Recent trends (2016-2021) revealed a rising interest in mechanisms and moderators, long-term meditation, neuroscientific studies, and smartphone/online delivery of interventions. Conclusions This comprehensive bibliometric study summarized and visualized 55 years of mindfulness research, revealing pivotal points, active research areas, and emerging trends.
