  • Flow meditation is a mindfulness-based intervention developed in Spain.

    “flow meditation (Meditación-Fluir)—a mindfulness-based intervention developed in Spain (Amutio et al., 2018; Franco, 2009; Franco, Amutio, Mañas, Gázquez, & PérezFuentes, 2017)”

    From Improving Psychosocial Functioning in Mastectomized Women Through a Mindfulness-Based Program: Flow Meditation. (2020) · cites this paper as Franco et al., 2017

    The Introduction calls Flow Meditation a mindfulness technique, and the Procedure describes its use as an intervention. The References list a Spanish-language book about it published in Madrid, but our copy does not state that the intervention was developed in Spain; publication location does not establish where it was developed. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    From Improving Psychosocial Functioning in Mastectomized Women Through a Mindfulness-Based Program: Flow Meditation. (2020) · cites this paper as Franco et al., 2017

    The Discussion lists the experience of positive emotions among proposed mechanisms of mindfulness, and the Introduction describes observing and accepting thoughts and emotions. Neither passage links positive emotions specifically to improvements in attention and acceptance. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • The study's findings are consistent with studies showing improvements in reducing anger, anxiety, and depression by using flow meditation for different samples of patients, including those with fibromyalgia and older adults.

    “These findings are consistent with studies showing improvements in reducing anger, anxiety, and depression by using flow meditation for different samples of patients, including those with different conditions, such as fibromyalgia (Amutio, Franco, et al., 2015), and who were older (Franco et al., 2017).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
