Abstract
Beneficial effects of mindfulness meditation (MM) have been observed in many studies, with attention to and awareness of the present moment possibly representing an essential variable. However, adhering to the meditation regimes is poor at times. As such, the effects of MM training on attention and awareness were examined here, and whether the means of recording the practice of MM – using paper (PP, n = 27) or through a mobile phone application (APP, n = 21) – produced any differences in terms of adherence to the training, or in attention and awareness. The results demonstrate that training enhances attention and awareness, irrespective of the format with which it was recorded. The APP reduced the rate of withdrawal from the training and it increased the time dedicated to the practice of MM each day.
