This is the benefit
Foundation: Mindfulness of thoughts
Mindfulness-based therapy showed a large pooled effect on mood symptoms in clinical samples. For “Mindfulness of thoughts,” present this as support for steady Buddhist practice, not as a guaranteed result from one session. App mapping: day 11 pairs this evidence with the Day 11: Foundation: Mindfulness of thoughts for Clinical Mood Symptoms practice.
This is the proof
In participants with anxiety or mood disorders, mood symptoms improved with Hedges’s g = 0.95.
Evidence type: Meta-analysis. Buddhist fit: Mindfulness-based therapy is Buddhist-derived but delivered clinically/secularly. Guardrail: State as evidence from a meta-analysis; do not overpromise individual outcomes. Effects are symptom-scale changes across interventions, not proof that any single Buddhist practice cures anxiety or depression.
