Not to mention it could also help people to get on top of their stress-triggered gut symptoms within a couple of months (thanks to the gut-brain axis, the two-way communication between the gut and the brain).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now a 2020 study has shown that different types of mindfulness meditation could have different effects on our brain and behaviour\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e8096a;\"><b><i>In a nutshell:<\/i><\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Different forms of mindfulness could have varying effects, but any type that works for you is likely to have a benefit. If you\u2019re feeling stressed, try taking a break for some mindful breathing exercises &#8211; it could help to better manage negative feelings and give you a more positive future outlook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e8096a;\"><b>What actually is \u2018mindfulness\u2019?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mindfulness is essentially thought of as the ability to be fully present and \u2018in the moment\u2019, when you\u2019re aware of your own thoughts and feelings, but without judgement and without being distracted or overwhelmed by what\u2019s going on around us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has traditionally involved meditation, although recently a whole bunch of other types have become popular &#8211; from breathing exercises to yoga, and even mindful art or walking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e8096a;\"><b>The Study<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">64 young adults, who didn&#8217;t already practice mindfulness, were split randomly into 4 groups to explore the effects of different mindfulness meditation techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each group (groups 1-4 below) all followed an 8-week mindfulness meditation programme with group meetings once a week for 60-75 minutes, held by one instructor. These meetings involved doing 2 sessions of their allocated meditation technique for 15 minutes each (30 minutes in total).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #e8096a;\"><b>Mindful breathing<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This involved sitting and focusing their attention on breathing in their nose and how it feels, bringing the attention back to the breath if they found their minds wandering. An example prompt would be:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNotice the sensations of the air passing through your nostrils while you inhale and exhale; if you find yourself caught up in a thought, an emotion, a fantasy or a memory, notice your mind has wandered away and, with a kind and nonjudgmental attitude, try to bring your focus back to breathing\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #e8096a;\"><b>Body scan<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, they sat on a pillow or a chair, and focused on specific body parts one by one, from the toes up to the head, and were guided to simply notice each part as they went along. The focus wasn\u2019t on the whole body, but one aspect at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNotice the sensations coming from your left foot, from the toes, the sole and the back of the foot, and the heel; if you find yourself caught up in a thought, an emotion, a fantasy or a memory, notice your mind has wandered away and, with a kind and non-judgmental attitude, try to bring your focus back to the sensations of your foot\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"color: #e8096a;\"><b>Observing-thoughts meditation<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was also done sitting down.

The findings are also based on participants\u2019 self-reporting, so there could be a risk of bias. And as a relatively short study over just 8 weeks, longer mindfulness practice might be needed for even more positive effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e8096a;\"><b>The bottom line<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All in all, the study shows any mindfulness meditation technique can come with benefits &#8211; including thinking more positively and being able to better manage negative thoughts without judgement. Focusing on your breath could be especially helpful if you tend to fixate on negative thoughts and events, or are finding it tricky to think positively about the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever you choose, making it a daily habit and seeing how you feel after 12 weeks or more is key. Why not try starting with just 10 minutes a day of mindfulness, or simply taking short breaks to focus on your breath when you\u2019re feeling stressed (aka mindfulness first aid!). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re after more guided breathing exercises, check out the Stress chapter of my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguthealthdoctor.com\/books\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>book<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for practical step-by-step guides too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e8096a;\"><b>How mindful are you?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) that the participants did in the study and get a better idea of how mindful you are in daily life! <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/26360a74217f40071dd4d88da\/files\/1ef4048f-f4c2-4016-8702-96c2600546f0\/Mindfulness_Questionnaire_The_Gut_Health_Doctor_Adapted_from_Baer_et_al_2006.pdf\"><b>Take the quiz<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s become a bit of a buzzword recently &#8211; but let me tell you there\u2019s some pretty powerful science emerging to support mindfulness exercises for increasing focus, improving sleep and reducing stress!
