It is one of the main methods of Buddhist meditation. Western psychologists and medical scientists have refined the concepts and methods of mindfulness from Buddhism, stripped off their religious elements, and developed a variety of mindfulness-based psychological therapies.

Its efficacy has received a lot of scientific empirical support from neuroscience to clinical psychology, and related research has received strong support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
