Mindfulness in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Sample Clauses

Mindfulness in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. An entire volume could be written on the history and development of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, including its Buddhist historical underpinnings and contemporary applications. As mindfulness interventions continue to proliferate at an exponential—even breathless—rate, such a project seems necessary, in fact. While several tome-like textbooks on the application of mindfulness in psychotherapy have been published in recent years (Xxxx, 2014; Xxxxxxx, 2009; Ie, Ngnoumen, & Xxxxxx, 2014), historical considerations have not kept up. Granted, several notable works of mindfulness scholarship have appeared in recent years, each touching on various historical aspects of contemporary mindfulness: as examples, we can point to one work that focuses on mindfulness as an American phenomenon (Xxxxxx, 2014a), and another that focuses on mindfulness as it relates to the Burmese reform movement of the late- nineteenth century (Xxxxx, 2013). That said, no comprehensive history of MBSR—or the mindfulness taught therein—has yet been written. Unfortunately, space does not allow 22 The ‘various reasons’ I allude to stem mostly from scarcity of time. As an MD/PhD student, I am unable to spend the requisite months (and even years) to conduct an ethnographic study that would supplement this project so well. The other factor is that I have yet to be trained in proper phenomenological ethnography which, unsurprisingly, is also due largely to time constraints. for such an endeavor. But this section nonetheless represents an attempt to give a succinct, broad overview of the history and development of mindfulness in MBSR. Working backward in time, I review the seven key features of mindfulness practiced today in MBSR; the historical development of MBSR’s version of mindfulness; and finally, its Buddhist underpinnings—which will bring us back as far as the 4th century C. E. I conclude with a useful, recently developed formulation for characterizing the various versions of mindfulness being practiced today, the Family of Mindfulness Practices Heuristic. This will serve to place Xxxxx-Xxxx’x mindfulness in relation to other common manifestations of the practice.
