There has been a growing acknowledgement in recent years that psychoanalytic theory and Buddhist psychology have much to offer each other. Western psychotherapists are attracted to Buddhist psychology because of the natural interplay between the two theories. Mindfulness meditation is at the heart of Buddhist psychology and is a form of meditation that focuses on moment-to-moment awareness. It is a method for calming the mind as well as for learning to observe more closely one's experiences, feelings and thoughts.
