I got introduced to mindfulness through "dialectical behaviour therapy"[0], in a hospital setting. The researcher who developed DBT initially was Marsha Linehan[1], who has many publications you can dig into.
Similarly, mindfulness was introduced into popular medical use for stress reduction, trauma, depression, pain relief, etc. by Jon Kabat-Zinn[2], who also has published articles.
I am sure the mindfulness article on Wikipedia also has useful links, and you could use sci-hub/google scholar/etc. to look up more research articles with the keyword "mindfulness".

- axson 10y agoI've been practicing zazen, which mindfulness meditation largy are based on, for a couple of years. Since I became a parent I don't really have the time to practice. But in my experience these kind of excercises really help to focus, stabilize and still the mind. Another thing is to turn of all notifications in your smart phone and remove all social media apps. If I want to check Facebook I have to log in via the browser and this have decreased the number of times I check my feeds in a day.
