Mindfulness Meditation

Guided mindfulness meditations from UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center

Mindfulness meditation (or vipassana) comes from the oldest tradition of Buddhism, the Theravada. Mindfulness is simply a state of clear, nonjudgmental, and nondiscursive attention to the contents of consciousness, whether pleasant or unpleasant. Developing this quality of mind has been shown to reduce pain, anxiety, and depression; improve cognitive function; and even produce changes in gray matter density in regions of the brain related to learning and memory, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.
