Abstract
This study examines the effects of open mindfulness practice on anxiety and depression. Open mindfulness is defined as being aware of our current mental state using non-judgmental awareness in the present moment. This also includes being aware of one's sensations, thoughts, and consciousness. Examples include such activities as meditation, relaxation, and yoga. It is hypothesized that the use of open mindfulness will be related to lower levels of anxiety and depression.
