To Move or Not to Move: Factors of Mind-Body Practice Engagement in a Population-Based Study.

Journal of Integrative and Complementary Medicine April 1, 2025 My Ngoc To, Nicole Nicotera, Kaipeng Wang 1 citation

Nearly 6% of U.S. adults practice combined mind-body practices (seated meditation plus movement-based practices like yoga, Tai Chi, or qigong). Higher education levels were linked to greater use of all forms of mind-body practices. Racial-ethnic disparities appeared for movement-based and combined practices. People with moderate or severe psychological distress were about twice as likely to engage in combined practices (moderate distress: relative risk ratio 1.92; severe distress: relative risk ratio 1.96), as were those with chronic pain. The authors suggest healthcare providers recommend combined mind-body practices as an additional resource for patients with psychological distress or mild chronic pain, and that increasing access in educational settings could reduce racial-ethnic disparities.

Understanding and Effectively Utilizing Experiential Therapy November 25, 2024 Julie Anne Laser, Nicole Nicotera

Mindfulness practices, rooted in their original traditions and medical systems, support healing and recovery. Integrating mindfulness into Experiential Therapy is beneficial because both approaches view problems as opportunities for growth and emphasize learning through experience to navigate life's challenges. This combination is especially well-suited for working with trauma survivors.
