“…This state of mindfulness can be realized with specific metacognitive knowledge such as "I am aware and observer of my depressive thoughts" rather than "I am depressed". Similarly, mindfulness has been associated with specific metacognitive experiences such as freshness, interest, curiosity about thought processes and experiences; metacognitive insights, and compassion towards the self (Jankowski & Holas, 2014). Furthermore, several meta-skills are necessary to achieve a state of mindfulness.…”

“…Mindfulness includes at least two levels of cognition, that is, a lower level qualia occurring in the present moment such as perceptions and thoughts; and a higher level meta-cognition constituted by the awareness of the flowing qualia (Jankowski & Holas, 2014). In his meta-cognitive model of psychological disorder, Wells (2000) proposed that meta-cognition of the internal events such as thoughts was the basic feature of mindfulness and several meta-cognitive processes and skills were necessary for attaining a state of mindfulness.…”

Over the last few decades there has been a substantial increase in the research and applications of meta-cognition and mindfulness. The concept of meta-cognition and mindfulness seems different and their research literature evolved independent of each other. However, meta-cognition and mindfulness share many commonalities and are conceptually related in many ways. Evidently, there has been relatively little research addressing this relationship. The research tradition of meta-cognition and mindfulness may strengthen and benefit each other. Specific aspects, such as development of 'meta-awareness' can be integrated with each other in a complementary as well as supplementary manner in applied settings such as psychotherapy. This paper describes the nature of meta-cognition and mindfulness and reviews their conceptual relationships. Finally, theoretical and applied implications of this relationship are discussed.

“…Moreover, effective self-regulation with regard to emotions and motivation also protects a person against the risk of ruminative exploration (cf. Jankowski & Holas, 2014), which does not lead to any solutions and, in the way of feedback, intensifies the fears concerning the commitments made.…”

The article presents a study concerning the relations between identity formation processes as theorized by Luyckx and colleagues (2008) and the formation of self-authoring personality according to Obuchowski (2011). The aim of the study was to establish whether and how identity formation processes are related to the overall level of self-authoring (manifesting itself in the levels of agency, intentionality, meaning in life, and creative adaptation), whether and how particular characteristics of self-authoring personality explain the intensity of identity formation processes, and whether and how the intensity of identity formation processes determines the formation of self-authoring personality. The participants were 140 people aged 30 to 39 (M = 33.15, SD = 2.48). The results indicate positive associations of the processes of commitment making and identification with commitment with the overall level of self-authoring and as well as a negative association between ruminative exploration and the overall level of self-authoring. A strong relationship was found between the configuration of variables making up a non-self-authoring personality and the configuration of variables referred to as ruminative moratorium.

“…Following this line, the essence of Buddhist psychology lies in the teaching that there is no such thing as an immutable and permanent self but that the perception of the self is a product of an ongoing mental process [44]. Understanding this allows us to transcend the 'psychological materialism' that is dominant in the west and which pushes us to atempt to improve ourselves by enhancing our self-esteem, self-conidence and self-control [25], in exchange for a new form of being with ourselves and others, releasing control and gaining awareness of what we feel from one moment to another, which requires that we become able to tolerate emptiness. On the other hand, Heidegger's view of Aesthetics tells us that through the process of observing beauty from a nonintellectual perspective-known as alétheia-it is possible to gain access to the very essence of things.…”

“…In this way, litle by litle, the practitioner becomes unatached from a static sense of the self, experiencing it, instead as a series of mental events [24]. This process involves metacognitive awareness [25], that is, a form of subjective experience and executive monitoring, in which a nonconceptual perspective is assumed as a form of atention distributed to the contents of the conscious experience and the processes that this involves [26,27], which allows the contents of the experience to be observable for the mediator. This allows one to assume a detached perspective on the contents of awareness, known as decentering [28]-a psychological capacity that allows us to realise the transitory nature and the impermanent character of the things that we perceive.…”

Mindfulness Meditation and the Perception of Beauty: Implications for an Ecological Well-Being

Perception of Beauty

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Meditation is a irst-person method for contemplating ourselves and the world, with more than 2500 years of history, rooted in the philosophical and contemplative traditions of the east. The present chapter aims to explore this worldview in order to demonstrate its relevance to our capacity for the appreciation of beauty. To this end, the aesthetic experience, the contemplative experience and their relationship with the practice of mindfulness are analysed. We suggest that the contemplative meditative experience bestows a state of consciousness and acceptance of life which places the practitioner in a progressive encounter with a self-concept that begins to detach from a static sense of the self and from the categories that deine it, so that it may be experienced as an ongoing mental event, removed from cultural ideals of beauty or positivity. The result of this de-identiication from the static self is a greater degree of psychological lexibility and a more genuine way of seeing the world, leading to a new perception of the self that is connected to an experience of freedom, and contributes to one's own well-being, as well as to that of others and of the environment.
