ABSTRACT
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a modified form of cognitive behavioral therapy that associates with mindfulness practices such as meditation and breathing exercises. Initially emerged as an intervention for relapse prevention in people with recurrent depression, it has since been connected to various psychiatric conditions and also has also shown marked effectiveness in various physical conditions. This paper aims to briefly describe the perspectives of MBCT and its presumed mechanism of action, and to review its effectiveness on different mental and physical wellbeing. The main therapeutic goal of MBCT is to interrupt automatic processes and teach the participants to focus less on reacting to incoming stimuli, and instead accepting and observing them without judgment due to which they can ended up more mindful of their contemplations and dispositions and not get caught within the circle of cynicism by utilizing mindfulness and CBT techniques. This new strategy enables to gain more control of thoughts and emotions. There are different confirmations on the viability of mindfulness based cognitive behavioural intervention in individual’s mental and physical heath dimension.
