OBJECTIVE
To briefly review the effects of mindfulness on the mind, the brain, the body, and behavior. METHODS: Selective review of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar databases (2003-2008) using the terms "mindfulness", "meditation", "mental health", "physical health", "quality of life", and "stress reduction." A total of 52 exemplars of empirical and theoretical work were selected for review. RESULTS: Both basic and clinical research indicate that cultivating a more mindful way of being is associated with less emotional distress, more positive states of mind, and better quality of life. In addition, mindfulness practice can influence the brain, the autonomic nervous system, stress hormones, the immune system, and health behaviors, including eating, sleeping and substance use, in salutary ways. CONCLUSION: The application of cutting-edge technology toward understanding mindfulness - an "inner technology" - is elucidating new ways in which attention, awareness, acceptance, and compassion may promote optimal health - in mind, body, relationships, and spirit.
目的
简要回顾正念对心理、大脑、身体及行为的影响。方法：通过使用“正念”“冥想”“心理健康”“身体健康”“生活质量”及“减压”等术语，对MEDLINE、PsycINFO和谷歌学术数据库（2003 - 2008年）进行选择性检索。共选取52篇实证研究和理论研究范例进行综述。结果：基础研究和临床研究均表明，培养更具正念的生活方式与较少的情绪困扰、更积极的心理状态及更好的生活质量相关。此外，正念练习能以有益的方式影响大脑、自主神经系统、应激激素、免疫系统及健康行为，包括饮食、睡眠和物质使用。结论：运用前沿技术来理解正念——一种“内在技术”——正在阐明注意力、意识、接纳和慈悲心促进身心健康、人际关系及精神状态达到最佳的新途径。
