    (S Vyasa, 2014-01-02) Ghosh, Kiriti Bhusan
    Many philosophical, spiritual, and psychological traditions emphasize the importance of the quality of consciousness for the maintenance and enhancement of well-being (Brown & Ryan, 2003). One attribute of consciousness that has been much-discussed in relation to well-being is mindfulness. Mindfulness has been defined as being intentionally aware of internal and external experiences that occur at the present moment, without judgment (Brown, Ryan, & Creswell, 2007). Study demonstrated that mindfulness is measurable quality possessed even by those who do not practice mindfulness meditation (Hollis-Walker, 2011). Literature reviews on mindfulness conclude various positive psychological effects, including increased subjective well-being, reduced psychological symptoms and emotional reactivity, and improved behavioral regulation (Keng, Smoski, & Robins, 2011). Psychological disturbance contribute to serious learning and health impairments in adolescence. Review on school-based prevalence rates in psychological problems covering the period from 1972 to 2002 shown an increase from 3.23 to 36.50%(Bhola & Kapur, 2003) in India. Findings suggest trait mindfulness possibly shields against decision-making processes that place adolescents at risk for smoking (Black, Sussman, Johnson, & Milam, 2012). Recent study demonstrate statistically robust and clinically significant relations between mindfulness and the theorized proximal and distal mood and anxiety vulnerability factors (Tanay, Lotan, & Bernstein, 2012). Further negative correlations between mindfulness and self-reported stress and emotion regulation strategies such as rumination and catastrophizing were reported (de Bruin, Zijlstra, van de Weijer-Bergsma, & Bögels, 2011).However, the majority of this research has been conducted in elsewhere and on adults.
