Network theory offers a novel framework to understand which symptoms are core (i.e., central) to mindfulness. Additionally, network theory and analysis provide an alternative way to conceptualize how mindfulness may be a protective factor against psychopathology. The primary aim of this paper was to provide a systematic review of empirical research that has used network analysis to study mindfulness.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>Studies were included if they were empirical, incorporated a measure of mindfulness, and used a network analytic approach. We identified 21 manuscripts.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Core processes in mindfulness networks include describing one's beliefs, thoughts, and emotions in words and accepting one's emotions. In addition, core facets in mindfulness networks are describing and acting with awareness. Several protective factors were also identified as core to mindfulness networks, including self-compassion, well-being, and interoceptive awareness. Psychopathology symptoms that are core to mindfulness include features of anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. Mindfulness appears to bridge to psychopathology through rumination, acceptance of emotions, non-judging, non-reacting, and acting with awareness. There also appear to be several notable changes in mindfulness networks after mindfulness-based interventions.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Future research should examine whether targeting core mindfulness processes may improve mindfulness-based interventions.

It thus addresses the problems of distractibility and superficial engagement caused by information overload and aims to prepare students for a fulfilling life. Based upon an in-depth dialogue among authors belonging to different disciplines, this conceptual synthesis integrates the various perspectives of Buddhist studies, philosophy of education, anthropology of education, clinical psychology, and psychiatry, to construct a comprehensive view of mindfulness for higher education. The structure of its argument progresses from the languishing to the flourishing of students, and from mindfulness taught in the form of interventions, to mindfulness cultivated as the very thread of learning. The article starts by reviewing the evidence regarding students' mental health and vulnerabilities, and moves to directly listening to their voices, larger aspirations, and more existential concerns. It next elaborates an epistemic and developmental model of mindful education, making creative use of T. S. Eliot's questions regarding information, knowledge, wisdom, and Life, to capture some ongoing, complex issues. MBCT's principles, formats, practices, and adaptations are then examined to envision skillful responses to these perceived challenges, with a proposal to further weave mindfulness into the constitution of higher education.
