ABSTRACT: An increasing number of empirical data over the last decades have shown
that the practices of unity in mind and body, which originate from Eastern traditions
and meditations, can cause much desired and positive changes in psychological
features, mental, but also in somatic physiological functions.
As noted by prof. Yasuo Yuasa is that the Eastern theory of mind-body not only is
considering body and mind as one, but also is expressed by the need for integration
and unity, ie the synergy of mind-body through physical and mental practices.
In Japan, such a mind-body unity is traditionally referred to as “Shin-Shin Ikiniyo (body
and mind as one)”.
The origin of mindfullness (active consciousness) occurs in the early stages of
Buddhism, and today it behaves and reacts through the active attention of the current
consciousness in a completely non-judgmental way.
The idea of mindfullness (active consciousness) has proven to be effective in
elucidating the psychological, physiological and neurocognitive correlations of mindbody, ie to contemplative practices in scientific and clinical contexts. Interventions
based on full-mindedness (active awareness) have been applied to a variety of clinical
and educational settings. For example, the John Kabat-Zin Awareness-Based Stress
Reduction Program (MBSR) has been shown to reduce psychological symptoms in
patients with chronic pain.
