DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness is a prominent emerging theory in the field of med
 icine. Most studies refer to mindfulness described by Jon Kabat-Zinn\, one
  that defines mindfulness as paying attention to the present moment\, non-
 judgmentally. Mindfulness-based interventions generally use meditation as 
 the mechanism to increase mindfulness. Although quite common\, this is not
  the only possible way to work with this construct. In the talk\, we will 
 discuss another approach to mindfulness\, which does not require meditatio
 n and can be easily incorporated in everyday life\, rooted in over 40 year
 s of research. Furthermore\, we will explore how this approach could be im
 plemented in the medical field\, introducing recent research findings from
  the health psychology field.
