Mindfulness, Consciousness and Quantum Physics
Summary
AI-generated from the abstractQuantum physics undermines the solid nature of reality, proposing that reality is a continuous motion of propagating energy waves and that mind plays a primary role. These findings have repercussions on human life, actions, and future, and underline the importance of building cognitive resilience through mindfulness training to improve emotion regulation, attention to true surrounding reality, mood, and well-being.

Abstract
The relation between quantum physics and higher brain functions, including the consciousness, is in recent years a top subject of deep discussions from a scientific, philosophical, psychological and existential point of view. Reality is in continuous motion, life is continuously becoming, a movementof propagating energy waves. The quantum revolution undermined the solid nature of reality, opening the door to the primary role of mind, and proposing scenarios with unexpected features. In this paper interesting aspects of quantum physics are considered, with inevitable repercussions on our lives, which can decisively influence our actions and future. These findings underline the importance of building a cognitive resilience with mindfulness training, for improving the ability to regulate emotions, attention to the true surrounding reality, mood and well-being in life.
