Professor Mark Williams – An Introduction To Mindfulness

Professor Mark Williams is Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology at Oxford and was also the Director of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre until his retirement in 2013.

Professor Williams, along with colleagues John Teasdale (Cambridge) and Zindel Segal (Toronto), developed Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for prevention of relapse and recurrence in major depression. He is also co-author of the best selling book ‘Mindfulness: Finding Peace In A Frantic World.’

In this interview Mark elegantly answers the question ‘what is mindfulness?’ He also leads 2 simple introductory practices for beginners and talks about why mindfulness is so effective for the treatment of depression relapse.

In this interview you’ll also discover…

  • The difference between mindlessness and mindfulness.
  • Why mindlessness often gets us into so much trouble.
  • The cutting edge research on mindfulness for depression (Mark is one of the world premiere researchers in this field).
  • The ‘breathing space’ mindfulness practice, which is great to use in times of stress and difficult emotions
  • How to use ‘habit releasers’ to bring more mindfulness into daily life.
  • An experience of the ‘body scan’ mindfulness practice.

    Great insights! Just to expand on this, choosing the right SMS OTP API Provider can dramatically improve how users experience security on your platform. A solid provider ensures OTPs are delivered instantly through reliable routing, even during high-traffic periods. What sets top providers apart is their blend of speed, analytics, and anti-fraud tools that keep verification smooth and consistent. Developers also appreciate simple APIs, quick integration, and real-time delivery tracking that removes guesswork during authentication. Whether it’s for sign-ups, transactions, account recovery, or high-security actions, partnering with a trusted SMS OTP API Provider helps reduce failures, minimise drop-offs, and build a frictionless verification journey from the very first step.
