Precautions:

Although practicing mindfulness meditation offers many benefits, there are situations where it can be problematic. This includes a history of unprocessed trauma or uncontrolled psychiatric disease (depression, anxiety, suicidality), as well as uncontrolled pain. Other potential contraindications include recent highly stressful events (death of a loved one, new onset severe illness), and it can also be difficult to do meditation if one is very early in recovery from substance abuse. If you have any concerns, please check with your physician and/or mental health provider.
