Summary
Mindfulness training can lead to profound shifts in how we experience the world, with lasting effects. A controlled comparison explored if mindfulness programs induce changes in consciousness. Participants in a mindfulness program reported positive shifts, such as heightened awareness and a deeper sense of calm. Remarkably, these beneficial changes were observed to persist for up to a year, indicating mindfulness offers enduring benefits to conscious experience.
