Originally stemming from Buddhist meditation traditions, this construct has received a great deal of attention in medicine, psychology and neuroscience. Globally, mindfulness-based interventions have been associated with a wealth of psychological benefits, ranging from a decrease of stress and distress and improvement of well-being. A convincing evidence of a close relationship between creativity and mindfulness emerges from the literature as well. Specifically, the two main approaches in the study of the mindfulness-creativity link are here taken into consideration: the study of mindfulness as a unitary construct, which leads to a uniform analysis of mindfulness in association with creativity; the study of the multifold nature of mindfulness, which led to the exploration, through a differential analysis, of the strength and direction of the associations between the mindfulness sub-dimensions and creativity.
