The term mindfulness refers to a quality of awareness that includes the ability to pay attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgementally (Kabat-Zinn, 1994)
![Page 6: Mindfulness for trainer's workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc93eaf79594c3d8b465a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mindfulness – a Buddhist teaching 7 fundamental attitudes:
• Non-judging• Beginner’s Mind• Non striving• Accepting• Patience • Trust• Letting go
![Page 7: Mindfulness for trainer's workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc93eaf79594c3d8b465a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mindfulness training is . .
• An integrative mind-body based approach that helps people change the way they think and feel about their experiences, especially stressful experiences.
• It involves paying attention to our thoughts and feelings so we become more aware of them, less enmeshed in them, and better able to manage them.
• Mindfulness teaches us how to accept out thoughts without unhelpfully identifying with them.
• When people practice mindfulness, they are encouraged not to aim for a particular result but simply to “do it” and see what happens.

Background
• 1979 – Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
• 2000 – Contemplative Neuroscience
• 2004 – Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
• 2000 - 2011 exponential growth in published papers

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
• 8 week group participation program• 2 hours teaching time per week• Home practice – 45 mins/ day for 6 days• Body awareness, yoga, walking and sitting
meditation• One day silent retreat
• Plus variations on this core structure . . .• Individual compliance with homework will vary.

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
• Developed by Segal, Williams and Teasdale, Oxford, 2004
• Same structure with cognitive therapy component
• Recommended by NICE for the prevention of depression for those with 2 + previous episodes.

Mechanisms of Mindfulness
• Attention
• Intention Control (emotional regulation)
• Attitude (a specific attitude marked by friendliness and acceptance)
Shapiro et al, 2006
![Page 14: Mindfulness for trainer's workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc93eaf79594c3d8b465a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cognitive Neuroscience
![Page 15: Mindfulness for trainer's workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc93eaf79594c3d8b465a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
•Long term meditators induce high amplitude gamma synchrony (associatedwith attention, conscious perception, learning and working memory)Lutz et al, 2004. Long term meditators self induce high amplitude gamma synchrony during mental practice. PNAS, 101(46), pp16369-16373
•Mindfulness is associated with enhanced prefrontal cortical regulationof affect through labelling of negative affective stimuli (emotional regulation)Creswell et al, 2007.. Psychosomatic Medicine, 69, pp.560-565
Increases in regional gray matter concentration in left hippocampus, posterior cingulate cortex, temporo-parietal junction and cerebellum compared to controls (learning, memory, emotional regulation and perspective taking)Holzel et al, 2011. Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, 191, pp.36-43
Significant increases in left-sided anterior activation (Left pre-frontal cortex) (previously associated with positive affect and approach orientated behaviour)Davidson et al, 2003. Psychosomatic Medicine, 65, pp.565-570

What does this mean?
• Meditation is associated with increased attention and affective processes
• Brain is flexible and can be trained and its function can alter over time.

Mindfulness-based stress reduction for stress management in healthy people
• Design: Review & meta analysis – 10 low quality studies
• Results:• MBSR – non specific effect on reducing stress
and enhancing spiritual values
• Reduce ruminative thinking and trait anxiety
• MBSR increases empathy and self compassion

Short term meditation improves attention and self regulation
• Partipants: 80 Chinese undergraduates
• Randomly assigned – 5 days, 20 mins/day
• Outcomes• Lower salivary cortisol• Higher salivary IgA concentrations • In response to stress (mental arithmetic task)
Tang et al, 2007. PNAS, 104(43), pp. 17152-17156
![Page 22: Mindfulness for trainer's workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc93eaf79594c3d8b465a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How it works
• Develops awareness
• Reduces anxiety and stress in present moment
• Prevents rumination
• Promotes healthy coping strategies
![Page 23: Mindfulness for trainer's workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc93eaf79594c3d8b465a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Healthcare professionals
• Evidence for:• Decreasing stress, negative effect, rumination, both state
and trait anxiety
• Increasing positive effect, self compassion, and QOL
• Clinical skills: increasing empathy and improving care-giver patient relationship

Healthcare professionals work in stressful environments, with long hours, heavy caseloads and limited control over their working conditions. Added to this are frequent restructuring of organisations and changing guidelines about practice. Burnout is common, as are associated physical health problems (Irving et al, 2009).

Patients
• Mindfulness has been used for patients suffering with:
• Low mood or Depression• Anxiety and panic• Stress• Conditions such as chronic fatigue, chronic pain,
fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, psoriasis, sleep disorder and headaches

Mindfulness helps with the art of Medicine
![Page 35: Mindfulness for trainer's workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc93eaf79594c3d8b465a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Medicine has traditionally been described as a healing profession. Healing can be defined as being cured when possible, reducing suffering when cure is not possible, and finding meaning beyond the illness experience (Scott et al, 2008).
![Page 36: Mindfulness for trainer's workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc93eaf79594c3d8b465a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

• Mindful practice supports healing relationships, and as a link between relationship centred care and evidenced based medicine, mindfulness should be considered a characteristic of good clinical practice (Epstein, 1999).

Promoting mindfulness in psychotherapists in training influences the treatment results of their
patients
• Design: a randomized double-blind, controlled study
• 124 psychiatric inpatients treated by 18 interns – treated for 9 weeks
• Intervention: Zen meditation
Grepmair et al, 2007. Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 76(6), pp.332-338
![Page 40: Mindfulness for trainer's workshop](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/546fc93eaf79594c3d8b465a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Results: Patients whose therapists had received mindfulness training:
• Rated their therapists higher on their therapeutic relationship, problem solving skills and ability to communicate clearly
• These patients did significantly better in terms of symptom severity including: somatisation, insecurity on social contact, obsessiveness, anxiety, anger/hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid thinking and psychotism

Bringing mindful practice into GP Training
• Three mindful breaths waiting for chose and book to load / computer to load…
• Breathing with patient when listening to their chest…
• Mindful moment – walking through door to collect the next patient.
