Abstract
The data collected from disabled university students who participated in a mindfulness workshop in Italy are presented. The workshop activities are also described. These were aimed at reducing stress and improving coping skills, the sense of self and social relationships. This is the first experience of a mindfulness course with university students with varying types of disability. The initial results were positive in creating the following within the participants: a less emotional interpretation of the world; a greater acceptance of their own difficulties; reduced stress; and, at the same time, implementation of various coping methods and improved self-esteem and social interaction.

Summary
Mindfulness is an approach that has the primary objective of making people aware of their own feelings and the subsequent corporeal “re-education.” it is characterized by two closely related components: 1) the ability to focus attention on the present (self-regulation of attention) and 2) the attitude with which this is done, with curiosity, openness, and acceptance. Mindfulness is an approach that has the primary objective of making people aware of their own feelings and the subsequent corporeal “re-education.”. It is characterized by two closely related components: 1) the ability to focus attention on the present (self-regulation of attention) and 2) the attitude with which this is done, with curiosity, openness, and acceptance. Together, these components allow a person to relate to their own experiences in a mindful way (with awareness, welcomeness, and acceptance) (Siegel, 2007, 2010; Halliwell, 2010; Amidei & Traverso, 2013). The essential thing is not to focus on performance but rather on moving the body for the pleasure of doing so, while being aware of it
