hello and welcome back in this section
will be exploring the evidence and benefits
of practicing mindfulness and will start right
here with the research what we can
see from this chart is that there's
been exponential growth in the peer reviewed
journal articles that have been done especially
over the last ten year period but
even going back further than that
there's a wealth of data to dig
into and we're just going to look
at some of the findings
so starting with mindfulness really going mainstream
the us department of health and human
services national health interview survey showed that
in a five year period this was
from two thousand and twelve to two
thousand and seventeen
the percentage of adults practicing mindfulness more
than tripled
this is pretty fantastic
when you add to this study's of
mindfulness in the workplace we can see
incredible growth here as well
many large employers are now offering mindfulness
training to their employees this data that
we're looking at comes from a wellbeing
survey that was done by the national
business group on health and fidelity and
what they saw among their participants in
a very short period of time is
this dramatic increase in the number
or of large employers offering mindfulness training
so as up from twenty two percent
to seventy five percent in just four
years
and you can see on this ah
right side of this slide some of
the many well known companies that are
offering mindfulness in this is just the
tip of the iceberg there are many
many more
a little more data to consider in
terms of mindfulness in the mainstream is
some data that we have from outta
me the massive online course provider
which shows really incredible growth in the
consumption of classes that are related in
some way to stress management mindfulness resilience
so just taking a look at the
categories that are included here
and then incredible four digit growth in
consumption of mindfulness courses in government and
nonprofit sector is just over a one
year period from twenty nineteen to twenty
twenty
