“…Being able to view such experiences as mental events that arise and dissipate can make disengaging from them much easier. In fact, disengagement and dissipation of such thoughts are central to what many meditation practices aim to develop (see, for example, Dunne, in press;Lutz et al, 2007). Thus, actively training one's attention during mindfulness meditation, or maintaining one's attention on a task during the day, will be facilitated by being able to view potential distractions as passing mental events, thereby disengaging from them easily (for a similar argument, see Pagnoni, Cekic, & Guo, 2008).…”

Mindful attention, a central component of mindfulness meditation, can be conceived as becoming aware of one's thoughts and experiences, and being able to observe them as transient mental events. Here, we present a series of studies demonstrating the effects of applying this meta-cognitive perspective to one's spontaneous reward responses when encountering attractive stimuli. Taking a grounded cognition perspective, we argue that reward simulations in response to attractive stimuli contribute to appetitive behavior, and that motivational states and traits enhance these simulations. Directing mindful attention at these

“…Apesar de existirem diferentes estilos de práticas de meditação, tal como atenção focada (também chamada de concentrativa) e monitoramento aberto (também chamada de mindfulness; para uma maior discussão sobre os diferentes tipos, ver Dahl, Lutz, & Davidson, 2015;Lutz, Dunne, & Davidson, 2007;Menezes & Dell'Aglio, 2009), entende-se que um objetivo comum a todas é o desenvolvimento de uma consciência menos condicionada, menos distraída e menos reativa (Walsh & Shapiro, 2006). Portanto, tanto do ponto de vista das filosofias tradicionais, como da ciência psicológica, as práticas meditativas buscam cultivar e desenvolver mindfulness, isto é, uma habilidade mental que auxilia o praticante a controlar a automaticidade com que tende a realizar julgamentos e a reagir afetivamente às próprias associações, sensações e sentimentos (Brown & Ryan, 2003).…”

Utilizou-se os questionários sociodemográfico, Ruminação e Reflexão (QRR) e Cinco Facetas de Mindfulness (FFMQ). Os meditadores apresentaram escore significativamente menor de ruminação e maior de mindfulness nas facetas observar, descrever, agir com consciência e não reagir. Agir com consciência, não julgar e não reagir correlacionaram negativamente com ruminação em ambos os grupos, sendo a associação maior entre meditadores. Tempo em meses e frequência semanal correlacionaram positivamente com agir com consciência, não julgar e não reagir e negativamente com ruminação. Os achados corroboram que aumento de mindfulness e redução da ruminação constituem benefícios da prática meditativa, caracterizando potenciais mecanismos psicológicos por trás da relação entre meditação e regulação emocional.Palavras-chave: Meditação; Habilidades de Mindfulness; Ruminação. Rumination and mindfulness skills in meditation practitioners and non practitioners AbstractWe compared mindfulness and rumination between meditators and non-meditators aging 16-65 years old, and investigated correlations between these variables for each group and their relation to amount of meditative practice. Rumination and Reflection Questionnaire and Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire were used. Meditators had significantly lower scores of rumination and higher scores on the mindfulness facets observe, describe, act with awareness and not react. Act with awareness, not judge and not react negatively correlated with rumination in both groups, but association was stronger for meditators. Time in months and weekly frequency correlated positively with facets of mindfulness and negatively with rumination. Results support that meditation may foster mindfulness and reduced rumination, and corroborate the understanding that these changes are potential psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between meditation and emotional regulation.Keywords: Meditation; Mindfulness Skills; Rumination.

“…The research of Richard Davidson (Davidson & Lutz, 2008;Lutz, Dunne, & Davidson, 2006) at the University of Wisconsin extended this knowledge base by exploring the role of the mind in enhancing wellbeing. They posited the question, If stress and mental suffering could lead to physical abnormalities, could the opposite, a state of mental health, be reflected in the body as well?…”
