Sumario:Mindfulness has spread in recent years in different fields, including health, education and organizations. Also in response to instrumentalization, the dimension of compassion has been explicitly incorporated. This increase has presented a development of the body of knowledge including its definition, measurement and the effect of programs based on mindfulness or compassion at the physical, psychological, social and neurobiological levels. The rich history and scientific growth presents a diversity of programs focusing on different populations, meditation practices, exercises, teachings and duration. Also, this progress has allowed the detection of adverse effects, difficulties in the evaluation along with opportunities for improvement to continue the development of knowledge. The purpose of this article is to orient a conceptual framework of the main findings of the decade, to guide relevant elements for evaluation, dissemination and decision making, along with opportunities to build in Latin America a body of knowledge and application with cultural relevance and sensitivity.
