What were issues highlighted carrying out mindfulness training? Could you please describe the countermeasures? Were the countermeasures effective? Any weak points of the countermeasures?
Perhaps the biggest barrier to mindfulness interventions or training is that they are very time consuming - 8 weeks plus homework and other bits for full MBRS interventions. The obvious thing to do is streamline them to try to deliver the active ingredients in a shorter timeframe (a key consideration in many patient samples). Unfortunately, we don't know that much about why they work so it's hard to determine where to trim, prune or focus. Currently, my group is concentrating on non-reactivity as we have evidence that it is specifically related to better health. Related articles can be found off my homepage.
Dear Nathan
I will be visiting US for 3 months from 1 Jan 2014 and will be based at Umich for different study. I am keen to learn the application of mindfulness and its effectiveness preferably in a non-medical environment.
