Mindfulnes (Mf) is a Buddhismbased type of psychotherapy and has an increasing application in anxiety, affective and pain disorders. Focusing of attention in present moment is one of its mainly techniques. As it has an explicit foundation in Buddhist spiritual practice, and also proceed from an eastern cultural environment, implementation in the clinical practice should be provided. A narrative review is performed in order to facilitate Mf integration with other psychotherapy techniques. Manly to aspects are addressed: 1) Mf common Buddhist origins and other psychotherapy types and 2) inclusion of Mf neurobiological mechanism knowledge in present neuroscience models. We conclude that Mf can be integrated with other psychotherapy programs and that contain falsifiable assumptions on current scientific dialog with clinical neuroscience.
