Exploring the therapeutic potential of Ayahuasca: acute intake increases mindfulness-related capacities

Psychopharmacology November 27, 2015 Joaquim Soler, Matilde Elices, Alba Franquesa et al. 212 citations

BackgroundAyahuasca is a psychotropic plant tea used for ritual purposes by the indigenous populations of the Amazon. In the last two decades, its use has expanded worldwide.

Contemplating Mindfulness at Work

Journal of Management November 19, 2015 Darren J. Good, Christopher J. Lyddy, Theresa M. Glomb et al. 1,007 citations

Mindfulness research activity is surging within organizational science. Emerging evidence across multiple fields suggests that mindfulness is fundamentally connected to many aspects of workplace functioning, but this knowledge base has not been systematically integrated to date. This review coalesces the burgeoning body of mindfulness scholarship into a framework to guide mainstream management...

Mindfulness Meditation-Based Pain Relief Employs Different Neural Mechanisms Than Placebo and Sham Mindfulness Meditation-Induced Analgesia.

Journal of Neuroscience November 18, 2015 Fadel Zeidan, Nichole M Emerson, Suzan R Farris et al.

Mindfulness meditation reduces pain in experimental and clinical settings. However, it remains unknown whether mindfulness meditation engages pain-relieving mechanisms other than those associated with the placebo effect (e.g., conditioning, psychosocial context, beliefs). To determine whether the analgesic mechanisms of mindfulness meditation are different from placebo, we randomly assigned 75...

Adding mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to maintenance antidepressant medication for prevention of relapse/recurrence in major depressive disorder: Randomised controlled trial.

Journal of Affective Disorders November 15, 2015 Marloes J. Huijbers, Philip Spinhoven, Jan Spijker et al.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and maintenance antidepressant medication (mADM) both reduce the risk of relapse in recurrent depression, but their combination has not been studied. Our aim was to investigate whether the addition of MBCT to mADM is a more effective prevention strategy than mADM alone. This study is one of two multicenter randomised trials comparing the combination of...

Effects of a mindfulness-based intervention on mindful eating, sweets consumption, and fasting glucose levels in obese adults: data from the SHINE randomized controlled trial.

Journal of Behavioral Medicine November 12, 2015 Ashley E Mason, Elissa S Epel, Jean L. Kristeller et al.

We evaluated changes in mindful eating as a potential mechanism underlying the effects of a mindfulness-based intervention for weight loss on eating of sweet foods and fasting glucose levels. We randomized 194 obese individuals (M age = 47.0 ± 12.7 years; BMI = 35.5 ± 3.6; 78% women) to a 5.5-month diet-exercise program with or without mindfulness training. The mindfulness group, relative to...

Effects of a Mindfulness Meditation Course on Learning and Cognitive Performance among University Students in Taiwan.

Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine November 10, 2015 Ho-Hoi Ching, Malcolm Koo, Tsung-Huang Tsai et al.

Mindfulness training has recently gained much research interest because of its putative benefits for both mental and physical health. However, little is available in its effects on Asian students. Therefore, a quasi-experimental pre/posttest design was used to assess the effects of a one-semester mindfulness meditation course in 152 first-year Taiwanese university students and compared with 130...

Mindfulness, Democracy, and Education

Democracy & Education November 9, 2015 Andrea M. Hyde, James G LaPrad 34 citations

In this article, we explain how mindfulness can enhance a democratic way of being, connecting practices of awareness, reflection, dialog, and action to democratic citizenship and social arrangements. We begin by sharing our understanding of democracy as a philosophy and a political system. We then provide a background for the concept of mindfulness as it is used by those in the field of...
