MINDFULNESS (MEDITATION) AND ITS SIDE EFFECTS
Background:
Mindfulness meditation is a practice that enables one to cultivate awareness of the present moment, thus changing or altering ones’ state of awareness and in time consciousness.
Mindfulness has grown exponentially over the past decade and is now being used in therapy, counselling, business and even schools. However, the increase interest in mindfulness meditation now warrants a serious focus on its safety and potential side effects.
As mindfulness practices are spreading there is increasing evidence emerging of contra indications (side effects) regarding mindfulness-based intervention.
The side effects of meditation with possible adverse reactions are increasingly being reported in the literature. Yet participant screening procedures, safety guidelines, and associated risks have not been developed and disseminated in field of mindfulness practice
Who is this for: Essential for professionals, therapists, counsellors, health professional and practitioners engaged in teaching or facilitating mindfulness.
