  • 소개/요약Mindfulness meditation is a form of self-regulatory exercise for mind and body. The core concepts of mindfulness include paying attention to the present moment and attaining a state of consciousness in a non-judgmental/accepting manner (Bishop et al., 2004; Lutz et al., 2008). Mindfulness meditation has its roots in Vipassana (insight meditation, a Buddhist meditation technique), which purports to affect mental events by engaging a specific attentional set (Lutz et al., 2008). As a clinical intervention, mindfulness meditation has been demonstrated to produce beneficial effects on mental and physical states, especially in terms of emotional improvement and recovery from affect-related psychopathology (Kabatzinn et al., 1992; Pinniger et al., 2012; Hoge et al., 2014; Khusid and Vythilingam, 2016). Mindfulness meditation has been proven to promote well-being and emotional balance (Krygier et al., 2013; Goyal et al., 2014), to decrease stress reactivity (Pace et al., 2009; Goyal et al., 2014), and to reduce negative feelings associated with anxiety and depression (Lane et al., 2007; Hoge et al., 2014; Khusid and Vythilingam, 2016).Instead of attempting to change emotional experiences, meditation practice trains the individual to notice and observe emotions simply as they are and to accept emotional reactions as they arise (Lutz et al., 2008). Previous studies have explored the emotional benefits of meditation from numerous perspectives. Several studies have demonstrated that meditation may help to modulate emotional responses to negative stimuli
