Initially, there was a debate over whether it should be considered a scientific technique or labelled as part of the new wave practices. Today, mindfulness is omnipresent in modern societies but has suffered from merchandising and banalization, which has been strongly criticized. Despite some limitations regarding methodological aspects of mindfulness research, it is considered effective for treating many physical and psychological disorders, and even it is recommended in clinical guidelines such the British National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. During the last 2500 years, mindfulness practices have moved from Northern India across most of Asia, but their mixing with Western science and culture at the end of the 20(th) century is considered a key event in recent history. For the first time in human history, due to globalization, the wisdom of all contemplative traditions can be shared with all human beings and assessed by science. Mindfulness practices, yoga included, are giving birth to a new field of knowledge, contemplative sciences, which go beyond mindfulness and is devoted to helping humanity to reach higher levels of happiness and mental peace. 000109586 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 000109586 590__ $$a3.5$$b2021 000109586 591__ $$aPSYCHIATRY$$b89 / 157 = 0.567$$c2021$$dQ3$$eT2 000109586 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000109586 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1690-4130$$aLópez del Hoyo, Y$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000109586 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-4842-0453$$aNavarro-Gil, M$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000109586 7102_ $$14009$$2730$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
