ABSTRACT

Mindfulness is the psychological process of bringing one’s attention to experiences occurring in the present moment, which can be developed through the practice of meditation and other training. The term mindfulness correlates with the Pali term sati, which is a significant element of buddhist traditions. In the present study an attempt has been made to evaluate the effects of mindfulness practice in management of anxiety among adolescent students. A total of 100 adolescent students were initially selected for the study. The anxiety was assessed using Institute of Personality and Ability Testing Anxiety Scale (IPAT) (Krug, Scheier & Cattell). Out of them 30 adolescent students (15 males and 15 females) were selected randomly who were in the age group of 13-15 years. Pre and post research design was applied.
