Mindfulness Meditation has been associated with increased subjective well-being, reduced emotional reactivity, and behavioral regulation. In turn, Gestalt therapy traditionally has the self-awareness and present experience here and now composing its theoretical and practical proposal. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the possibilities of theoretical and practical exchange between the Mindfulness Meditation technique and the Gestalt therapy psychological approach. We sought to identify, compare and contrast the common terms and concepts found in their respective theoretical and practical frameworks. Although these concepts have their meanings constituted in their different theories, it was possible to identify points of dialogue between the theoretical and practical proposals. The integration self-awareness, functional self-awareness and spontaneous self-regulation are the three axes that demonstrate dialogue and indicate an encounter between Mindfulness Meditation and Gestalt therapy.
