Dose-response in mindfulness programs and practices - leaning into the unexpected

June 30, 2023

Cheetah House, Providence, RI, USA

How Much Mindfulness is Best? What the evidence says about dose in mindfulness programs and practices.

With a plethora of mindfulness programs and practices offered — from brief, app-based practices to online programs, to face-to-face courses, to retreats — how do we know which “dose” of mindfulness is most helpful for individuals? There is a common belief that more is better when it comes to engaging in mindfulness programs and practices. However, this may not always be the case, especially for people with different prior experiences of mindfulness. This talk presents some unexpected research evidence of studies examining and comparing different doses of mindfulness programs and practices, followed by a discussion on which mindfulness dose might be best, and for whom.
