+> the present article discusses the difficulties of defining mindfulness, delineates the proper scope of research into mindfulness practices, and explicates crucial methodological issues for interpreting results from investigations of mindfulness.
+
+> For doing so, the authors draw on their diverse areas of expertise to review the present state of mindfulness research, comprehensively summarizing what we do and do not know, while providing a prescriptive agenda for contemplative science, with a particular focus on assessment, mindfulness training, possible adverse effects, and intersection with brain imaging.
+
+A manifesto of sorts for the major current trend in Western mindfulness research which accepts the therapeutic potential of meditation and now seaks to understand it on medicine's terms: dose, side-effects, and mechanism of action.

+> After reviewing 17,801 citations, we included 47 trials with 3,320 participants.
+Mindfulness meditation programs had moderate evidence to improve anxiety at 8 weeks; depression at 8
+weeks and 3–6 months and pain, and low evidence
+to improve stress/distress and mental health-related quality of life.
+
+A large (15-author!) review of the literature on meditation effects shows where meditation is effective and what kinds of evidence the Western academy likes to see.
