Mindfulness: What is it? BBC News
Traditionally a Buddhist form of meditation, its popularity is growing rapidly and it’s now being taught in schools, has been adopted by the national health service and is behind best selling books and top apps. You’re encouraged to focus on living in the moment and its supporters believe it can help deal with stress, mental illness and chronic pain – amongst others. But, how does it work? Benjamin Zand has been giving it a go.

Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe, after “new information and evidence has come to light”, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) has said.
“The police are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack. I will be updating the House further this afternoon,” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said.
A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday but has now been re-arrested “on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism”, CTPSE said.
Police said the “dynamic and complex investigation” had led to the new arrest.
On Thursday, 78-year-old Widdecombe was found dead at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries.

Three members of his government, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips, have resigned, whilst scores of Labour MPs are calling for him to quit following a disastrous set of elections for the party last week.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is among a number of cabinet ministers urging the prime minister to set out a departure timetable.
Sir Keir said he does not intend to quit and threw down the gauntlet to potential rivals to formally challenge him as Labour leader.
No MP has yet launched a formal bid to challenge him, which requires the backing of 81 colleagues or 20% of Labour MPs, according to party rules.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

If we want to have a more mindful life, we will need to become more aware of what we expose ourselves to. And we need to be aware of how I am being affected by what I expose myself to. This is especially crucial in these unusual times.

Is there a slightly less insulting synonym of 'useless pretentious wank' to describe mindfulness? I think about stuff; I can only relax when all my tasks have been completed. Taking 10 minutes away doesn't get stuff done. We do this at school.

Training attention is good. Though I think this should be combined with relaxation for better effect.
I'm reluctant to get involved with this stuff because of the sew-age nonsense that comes with it. Even "secular" mindfulness seems quite religious.
If you think that the only reason people suffer is because of "bad" thoughts, then you are an idiot and a bane on society.

Wait so can someone describe mindfulness to someone who has literally no common sense or perception? Is it basically just "Thinking about stuff" or "being in the present"? Because thinking about things and being in the moment are two different things.

I recently discovered a few new things about mindfulness, which I put forward in my book The Relaxation Principle. I'm fascinated with this issue of how mindfulness is used. We can forget that mindfulness is always for the purpose of something. It seems to me that mindfulness is best employed for reducing unnecessary effort – what I call the relaxation principle. In this light it could be true that some people will use it wrongly and just waste time, or worse – use it to manipulate their experience rather than making real changes in their life. This is also like using it too forcefully. The website for my book is here –

Erm, at 2:30. He is fairly softly spoken so I may have misheard but did he claim that it is at least as effective as drugs at treating cancer? Dealing with stress and the like I can well imagine, but meditation for dealing with cancer? I'd like to see some citations for those studies, preferably followed by lots of good quality follow up studies if they are going to make that sort of claim!
Sounds dangerously close to woo when he went there.
