“…In training, practitioners are required to pay close attention to the transitory nature of their body, sensations, and emotions, without manipulation, interference, or elaboration. Sustaining the observation over prolonged periods of time allows practitioners to gain insight about the true nature of phenomena pertaining to the body and mind (Chavan, 2007).…”

The present study examined the contributions of mindfulness meditation practice on job burnout, a choice of stress coping styles, and job satisfaction. The online survey data were obtained from 93 meditation practitioners and 54 non-practitioners in Thailand (total n 5 147). Results from partial least squares regression suggested that respondents who had regularly practiced mindfulness meditation tended to report lower burnout. In addition, they tended to adopt more problemfocused coping and less emotion-focused coping in order to deal with work-related stress. The author also found that regular mindfulness meditation practice also contributed indirectly to higher job satisfaction.

“…For example, Vipassana is a mindfulness technique that has similarities to Zen meditation, but has a particular focus on introspection, contemplation, and the development of insight [236]. An fMRI study [235] of this practice also revealed differences in CMS activation among meditators as compared to controls.…”

Bipolar depression is often refractory to treatment and is frequently associated with anxiety symptoms and elevated suicide risk. There is a great need for adjunctive psychotherapeutic interventions. Treatments with effectiveness for depressive and anxiety symptoms as well as suicide-related thoughts and behaviors would be particularly beneficial. Mindfulness-based interventions hold promise, and studies of these approaches for bipolar disorder are warranted. The aim of this paper is to provide a conceptual background for such studies by reviewing key findings from diverse lines of investigation. Results of that review indicate that cortical midline structures (CMS) appear to link abnormal self-referential thinking to emotional dysregulation in mood disorders. Furthermore, CMS and striatal dysfunction may play a role in the neuropathology underlying suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. Thus, combining studies of mindfulness interventions targeting abnormal self-referential thinking with functional imaging of CMS and striatal function may help delineate the neurobiological mechanisms of action of these treatments.

“…The terminology I will use will be from both Theravada Buddhism and Husserlian phenomenology. Although the goals of Buddhist and Husserlian phenomenology are different, I am mixing their terminology here because: (1) both held sway in my own development, and I have used both frameworks in making sense of my experiences, (2) both Theravada Buddhist methods and Husserlian methods constitute transcendental phenomenologies (Hanna, 1993a(Hanna, , 1995Larrabee, 1981), 3 (3) both methods are productive of good science (Chavan, 2007), and (4) in some cases the Husserlian interpretations and terminology are less loaded with ideological baggage than are Buddhist accounts.…”
