Mindfulness is<\/em>\u00a0usually translated into Spanish as “mindfulness”, and encompasses a series of practices that seek to bring attention to the experience of the present moment.\u00a0These practices come from Eastern traditions, mainly\u00a0Vipassana<\/em><\/a> Buddhism<\/a>\u00a0, Zen, the Tibetan and Hindu tradition, but there are also practices of mindfulness in the mystical roots of the Christian tradition.<\/p>\n

In the historical roots of these practices we observed that meditation sought both to reduce suffering and desolation, as well as to promote spiritual search, enlightenment and vital sense.\u00a0The psychological and the spiritual were amalgamated.<\/p>\n

When these practices are incorporated in different health contexts in the West, they take different forms.\u00a0First of all,\u00a0Jon Kabat-Zinn<\/a>\u00a0designed a stress reduction program in 1979 based on mindfulness techniques, known as the\u00a0Mindfulness-<\/em>\u00a0based Stress Reduction Program\u00a0(MBSR), which was first applied in the workplace. University of Massachusetts as a chronic pain treatment.<\/p>\n

Effective to avoid relapse in depression<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The practice of\u00a0mindfulness is<\/em>\u00a0also integrated into cognitive therapy based on\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0(MBCT), which has shown efficacy in the prevention of\u00a0relapse in depression<\/a>\u00a0, with effects at least as good as those of\u00a0psychotropic drugs<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

In addition to these two structured programs (MBSR and MBCT), there are other interventions based on\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0Regardless of the structure of the program in which they are integrated, mindfulness techniques are often divided into two categories: meditations that seek to sustain attention in an experience (for example, body sensations when taking and expelling air), and those that consist of trying to be aware of all the elements that are appearing in consciousness, not just one in particular.<\/p>\n

These types of exercises are carried out in a wide range of contexts, in what has been considered a real\u00a0boom<\/em>\u00a0: welfare promotion centers;\u00a0programs in companies that seek to reduce the stress of their employees;\u00a0in education, looking for attentive and emotionally regulated students;\u00a0in hospitals and clinical centers inserted in therapies for different problems (MBCT, MBSR);\u00a0in prisons …<\/p>\n

Likewise, in the last 20 years\u00a0multiple scientific studies<\/a>\u00a0have proliferated\u00a0, many of them randomized controlled trials and meta-analyzes of maximum scientific rigor, which reveal a robust effect of\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0in health, in the reduction of stress, the prevention of relapse in the depression, the management of chronic pain and addictions.\u00a0But is it the best possible treatment for these problems?\u00a0Is the\u00a0boom<\/em>\u00a0that\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>has generated\u00a0justified\u00a0?\u00a0Does it present dangers?<\/p>\n

>What is it for?<\/h4>\n

When considering clinical populations,\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0is shown to be effective in preventing relapse in depression, especially when the patient has\u00a0residual<\/a>\u00a0symptoms\u00a0.\u00a0Even some high-quality clinical guidelines, such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the United Kingdom, consider it the\u00a0treatment of choice<\/a>\u00a0for the prevention of relapse (when there are three or more previous episodes of depression).<\/p>\n

However, in other contexts only a moderate effect is observed, comparable to other treatments.\u00a0For example, Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) has a robust but equivalent effect to\u00a0other therapies<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Similarly, in cases of\u00a0insomnia<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0has only so far produced moderate results that allow it to be considered a promising treatment.<\/p>\n

In general,\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0has shown to be very helpful in managing the symptoms of depression and, to a lesser extent, those of anxiety in various chronic ailments:\u00a0cancer<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0chronic fatigue<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0fibromyalgia<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0irritable bowel syndrome<\/a>\u00a0, and\u00a0vascular diseases<\/a>\u00a0(diabetes, hypertension, infarction …), but it is important to note that none of the meta-analyzes reveals a change in the physical condition of these diseases, but only (which is not little) a change in the psychological experience of them.<\/p>\n

Moreover, in\u00a0healthy people<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0increases welfare, and in the case of\u00a0minors<\/a>\u00a0, type meditation\u00a0midnfulness<\/em>\u00a0has shown to\u00a0have a beneficial impact on health, although smaller than when we\u00a0consider people with some kind of disorder.<\/p>\n

Misconceptions about it<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Given the success that\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0has had for two decades, many people can seek in these meditative practices the solution that another psychological treatment could actually provide with greater efficiency, misinformation that can harm the resolution of certain difficulties.<\/p>\n

For this reason, and in view of the results we have reviewed in this text, it is crucial that the trainers of these techniques have psychological or psychiatric training in order to discriminate and apply the most appropriate interventions according to the process of present disorder.<\/p>\n

Different authors of the context of\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0training\u00a0warn that it is being considered as a\u00a0new panacea<\/a>\u00a0, when clearly the research shows that it is a valuable intervention in certain contexts and problems, but not in all.<\/p>\n

In fact, in some it would not be advisable, for example, in processes of\u00a0social anxiety<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Initial state of investigation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We are in an initial state of research, not so much to check the effectiveness of\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0(there are numerous meta-analyzes that support it in relation to a waiting list group), but to understand the processes responsible for its effectiveness.<\/p>\n

We do not know if the reduction of psychological processes such as\u00a0rumination or worry<\/a>\u00a0are the responsible mediators that end up generating changes in health.\u00a0Changes have also been detected in the\u00a0frequency band of<\/a>\u00a0brain activity and in the activity of\u00a0telomerase<\/a>\u00a0, very suggestive physiological processes.<\/p>\n

This situation of partial knowledge about the mechanism responsible for the change makes persuasive explanatory theories proliferate, but not scientifically founded.<\/p>\n

I consider it especially dangerous to go to meditation as a way to avoid the painful experiences of life (losses, moments of acute stress before events …).\u00a0Such uses can have detrimental effects, since using\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>as a way to numb or reduce the adaptive emotional response in certain circumstances can cause or maintain further disorders.<\/p>\n

On certain occasions, the best way to\u00a0resolve an emotional pain<\/a>\u00a0is actually to cross it and process it, not avoid it or interrupt it.\u00a0Along with the knowledge of the benefits it brings, it is also important to be aware of these\u00a0dangers<\/a>\u00a0that come with\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

It is not effective for everything<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In summary,\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0has extensive research that shows its effectiveness in the face of various difficulties, with robust results that are superior to the waiting list control group.\u00a0In some cases, it would not be advisable to apply it, and in other processes, especially the prevention of relapse in depression, it is especially efficient.<\/p>\n

At other times, it does not prove to be more efficient than other existing interventions, so it would be better to avoid considering it as a panacea in the face of all kinds of difficulties.\u00a0It is important that we go to specialists in\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>\u00a0and that in case of looking for it to alleviate some type of suffering, we go to a professional in sanitary psychology or clinical psychology.\u00a0In any case, it should be emphasized that\u00a0mindfulness<\/em>It arises from the adaptation of a set of techniques and traditions that have searched for hundreds of years not only to reduce discomfort but to increase psychological and spiritual well-being, encouraging a search for an existential and ethical sense.\u00a0This area has not received enough scientific attention when it should also be considered an area of \u200b\u200bfirst order in the investigation.<\/p>\n
