A commentary argues that the relationship between mindfulness meditation and creativity is more complex than previously assumed. It suggests that while mindfulness reduces mind-wandering, which is often linked to creative insight, it may also enhance certain cognitive processes that support creativity. The author contends that the effects depend on the type of mindfulness practice and the aspect of creativity being measured, and calls for more nuanced research to disentangle these interactions.
