Resumen :
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has caused physical and mental health problems for a large part of
the population. In this context, the practice of mindfulness has become relevant due to its usefulness
in channeling and mitigating these problems. The objective of this article is to know the implications
of the practice of mindfulness in physical and mental health in this syndemic period throh the
perception of its practitioners. To achieve this purpose, we conducted an ethnographic study with
fieldwork in three mindfulness training and practice groups. The techniques used were participant
observation, open interview and survey. Participant observation was carried out from October 2019 to
November 2021. A total of 22 open interviews were conducted. In addition, 44 surveys were carried
out on a total population of 54. From the first sessions, 45.5% stated that they had felt beneficial effects
on their health, and 100% perceived benefits in different aspects of their mental and physical health.
The techniques perceived as most effective were those that focused on the body and emotions. The
usefulness of mindfulness in managing the problems derived from the syndemic was unquestionable
for 95.4%. In addition, a strong correlation is observed between the time spent practicing mindfulness
and the reduction in the impact of the syndemic on the health of the practitioners
