Recent research suggests that mindfulness based meditation (MBM) positively impacts cognitive functions including attention, memory and executive function (12). MBM is a process of "training the mind to function in a nonjudgmental minute to minute mode" (13). MBM aims to reorient the individual to the present and broaden self awareness(14). MBM has many forms including Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), Mantra-based meditation and Buddhist-based mindfulness practices(12). All forms of MBM promote attention to internal experiences such as bodily sensations, thoughts, emotions, sights or sounds(15). There is emerging evidence that MBM may increase hippocampal volume and functional brain connectivity as well as promoting cognitive function(16, 17).
