For this, the second in a three part series on Buddhism, the
doubtcasters turn their attention to the Noble Eightfold Path and
its emphasis on mental discipline. While some meditation techniques
aim at achieving deep trance-like states, Vipassana or
"mindfulness" meditation is relatively free of mysticism. The goal
of mindfulness is to carefully observe every aspect of ones
experience in order to break free from habitual patterns of thought
and behavior which cause suffering. In recent years, mindfulness
has become popular in western therapeutic circles. Many insist that
meditation is an effective treatment for a variety of mental health
problems including depression and anxiety disorders. Is there any
solid data to support these claims or is mindfulness meditation
just the latest fad in a long series of pseudoscientific
psychotherapies?
