This article proposes a humanistic-oriented theoretical foundation for meaning in life as a mediator between mindfulness meditation and happiness. Three main functions of mindfulness are introduced: nonidentification, choice, and compassion. These functions are examined through the lens of meaning in life theory. Implications for humanistic counselors are discussed.

Mindfulness meditation, through nonidentification, choice, and compassion, can enhance happiness and provide meaning in life for humanistic counselors.
