Abstract
Defined by numerous mental and physical constituents, health behavior change can be directly influenced by Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs). Neurological and psychological evi- dence suggest positive correlations between yoga and meditation practice and decreased anxiety symptomatology by individuals of domestic violence. Regulatory processes, implemented via Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBSR), a mechanism implemented by yoga practice, engage neural networks for varying cognitive derivatives. Applications of learning and memory models correspond to neurological bases for chronic psychiatric conditions, namely PTSD, asso- ciated with domestic violence trauma. The following cross-sectional paper addresses the underly- ing cognitive and behavioral frameworks initiating improved emotional functioning and behavior change. The term battered women will be used interchangeably with individuals of domestic vio- lence, trauma survivors, and intimate partner violence (IPV) throughout. Keywords:Mindfulness meditation (MM), mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), memory, learning, neurological, battered women, intimate partner violence
