Researchers from the UK reviewed 85 randomized controlled trials of brief mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and found that 79 of them positively impacted at least one health related outcome.\u00a0 Most of the interventions involved a single session of either mindful breathing exercises or general mindfulness instructions. The majority addressed symptoms of anxiety and depression, although other outcomes included emotion regulation, stress and cognitive outcomes.\u00a0 The authors concluded that brief MBIs \u201chave the potential to be the initial steps leading to sustainable and positive health outcomes\u201d.<\/p>\n
