***Rumination and mindfulness skills in meditation practitioners and non practitioners***
We compared mindfulness and rumination between meditators and non meditators aging 16-65 years old, and investigated correlations between these variables for each group and their relation to amount of meditative practice. Rumination and Reflection Questionnaire and Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire were used. Meditators had significantly lower scores of rumination and higher scores on the mindfulness facets observe, describe, act with awareness and not react. Act with awareness, not judge and not react negatively correlated with rumination in both groups, but association was stronger for meditators. Time in months and weekly frequency correlated positively with facets of mindfulness and negatively with rumination. Results support that meditation may foster mindfulness and reduced rumination, and corroborate the understanding that these changes are potential psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between meditation and emotional regulation.
