 Mindful meditation MM is a basic form of meditation that involves focusing on one thing internally or externally. Being fully present in the moment is the goal of MM. Practicing MM teaches relaxation and concentration on experiencing bodily sensations such as breathing patterns. Mindfulness is independent of environmental stimuli; it is a state of mind that can be achieved at any time 5. Studies show that, with practice, this form of meditation can provide both long- and short-term positive effects with respect to reduction in anxiety and depression6,7. Immediate and transferable benefits for AF patients include self-regulated attention, heightened perception of internal states, reduced stress and anxiety symptoms, and increased overall well-being.
