Mind-body practices have shown to be effective in reducing psychological distress and improving well-being and quality of life in clinical samples and healthy populations. We tested the effects of a body-based mindfulness intervention based on alexithymia, distress symptoms, and dispositional mindfulness among healthy adults. A total of seventy-three participants (mean age 40.1) were assigned to a body-based mindfulness program (i.e., experimental group) and the control group (i.e., waiting list). Distress symptoms were assessed with the Symptoms Questionnaire; alexithymia was measured using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale; and dispositional mindfulness was assessed with the Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire. Measures were completed at baseline and at one-week post-test. Even when controlling for baseline score, the body-based mindfulness program has shown to be effective in reducing distress symptoms (i.e., anxiety, depression, and somatic symptoms) and alexithymia, as well as improving dispositional mindfulness (i.e., observing, acting with awareness, and non-reacting). The findings from this study provide evidence that the body-based mindfulness program may help individuals to integrate bodily expressions, thoughts, and emotions, keeping an integrated sense of self.
身心实践已被证明在临床样本和健康人群中能有效减轻心理困扰、改善幸福感和生活质量。我们测试了一种基于身体的正念干预对健康成年人的述情障碍、困扰症状和特质正念的影响。共有73名参与者（平均年龄40.1岁）被分配到基于身体的正念项目组（即实验组）和对照组（即等待名单组）。使用症状问卷评估困扰症状；使用多伦多述情障碍量表测量述情障碍；使用五因素正念问卷评估特质正念。在基线和测试后一周完成测量。即使在控制基线分数的情况下，基于身体的正念项目也已证明在减轻困扰症状（即焦虑、抑郁和躯体症状）和述情障碍方面有效，同时还能提高特质正念（即观察、有意识地行动和不反应）。本研究结果提供了证据，表明基于身体的正念项目可能有助于个体整合身体表达、思想和情感，保持完整的自我意识。
