Mindfulness
MeditationSustained, non-judgmental attention to present-moment experience — thoughts, sensations, and emotions observed as they arise rather than reacted to automatically.
Example: A randomized trial of frontline healthcare workers with COVID-era burnout compared mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) alone against MBSR combined with group psilocybin-assisted therapy — the combined group showed significantly larger drops in depression scores than mindfulness training by itself.
What is mindfulness?
Sustained, non-judgmental attention to present-moment experience — thoughts, sensations, and emotions observed as they arise rather than reacted to automatically.
Does combining mindfulness with psilocybin work better than either alone?
In one randomized trial of frontline healthcare workers with COVID-era burnout, a group doing mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) combined with group psilocybin-assisted therapy showed significantly larger drops in depression scores than mindfulness training by itself.
