Mindfulness is derived from Eastern practice that is proving to be beneficial to many in the west, and is currently transforming modern medicine. Although mindfulness is simple in its practice, scientific research has revealed the many complexities of mindfulness such as its capabilities to induce mind/body healing. While mindfulness meditation encourages individuals to turn away from the outer world towards their inner process, it is the bridging of the gap between the two that enables self-exploration, discovery and insight. This thesis entails medical evidence, empirical research on the practice of mindfulness and mindfulness meditation, and how it cultivates the awareness of the present moment. This practice promotes self-actualization and overall wellbeing that can translate into leadership roles within organizations to help better communication among its members that in turn, build resiliency and sustainability. Overall, it takes an in depth look at this paradoxical practice (in that it really isn’t a thing, and yet, it is everything) called mindfulness, and its transformational effects on the mind, body, and spirit. Mindfulness can increase

| Abstract | Mindfulness is derived from Eastern practice that is proving to be beneficial to many in the west, and is currently transforming modern medicine. Although mindfulness is simple in its practice, scientific research has revealed the many complexities of mindfulness such as its capabilities to induce mind/body healing. While mindfulness meditation encourages individuals to turn away from the outer world towards their inner process, it is the bridging of the gap between the two that enables self-exploration, discovery and insight. This thesis entails medical evidence, empirical research on the practice of mindfulness and mindfulness meditation, and how it cultivates the awareness of the present moment. This practice promotes self-actualization and overall wellbeing that can translate into leadership roles within organizations to help better communication among its members that in turn, build resiliency and sustainability. Overall, it takes an in depth look at this paradoxical practice (in that it really isn’t a thing, and yet, it is everything) called mindfulness, and its transformational effects on the mind, body, and spirit. Mindfulness can increase the ability for humans to better self-regulate and self-reflect. As a result, this enables them to respond to life rather than react to it. In this thesis I will address several components of my analysis of mindfulness, and mindfulness practice such as: what is mindfulness and how does one recognize and practice it; what are the medical and psychological benefits of this practice; and, how can this practice be incorporated into the everyday work environment to help better communication among all levels of management within organizations? |
