Is there any real science behind mindfulness?

With so many articles on the benefits of mindfulness for us and the organisations we’re part of I suspect many of us are left wondering if there is any substantial research backing up these claims.
This HBR article by Congleton, Holzel and Lazar provides some solid evidence for the claims.
The World Health Organisation estimates that depression will be second biggest health burden globally by 2020. We are therefore likely to hear a lot more about practices such as mindfulness that can help counter depression.
