Similarities and differences between mindfulness and relaxation Sample Clauses

Similarities and differences between mindfulness and relaxation. There were no significant differences (with a negligible effect size) between the mindfulness and relaxation groups on any of the psychological symptoms and cognitive functioning measures. Moreover, the interaction effects between time and group for the psychological symptoms and cognitive functioning variables were all non-significant and, with the exception of mindfulness and difficulties in emotion regulation, which had a small effect size, the effect sizes for the remaining variables were all negligible, suggesting both groups benefited similarly from the intervention across time. These findings suggest that both interventions overlap on some aspects. Conversely, both interventions might lead to similar outcomes, but through different mechanisms. The potential similarities and differences between the two interventions will be explored in this section. Mindfulness and relaxation share common components, such as restful alertness and mental activity, in so far as they both promote feelings of calmness through focus of attention. Both interventions are practised in a seated or lied down position, and therefore are similar in their physical inactivity. Moreover, they may lead to relaxation, although the purpose of mindfulness is not to produce relaxation, but to teach non-judgmental observation of events (Xxxx, 2003). Nevertheless, both interventions overlap in their potential relaxation effect which, in itself, may contribute to an increased sense of well-being. In a grounded theory of mindfulness for psychosis (Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxxx, 2008), for example, participants described a relaxing (verb) of tension as they began to let go of struggle and fight with psychotic experience- that is, whilst achieving a state of relaxation may not occur, there was a palpable feeling of release of tension and struggle in mindfulness. Mindfulness and relaxation can be conceptualised as forms of cognitive training in attention control, as they both require the ability to hold attention (breath in mindfulness and visual images in relaxation/guided visual imagery), to recognise when focus is lost, and to redirect attention when the mind wanders. The difference perhaps is that in mindfulness the attention is focused on naturally occurring internal and external stimuli as those experiences unfold, while in relaxation/guided visual imagery the attention is focused on consciously generated images. Nevertheless, mindfulness and relaxation/guided visual imagery are both atten...
