The unity of mind and body is a topic of broad interest for many researchers in Psychology. Widespread conditions of chronic/episodical pain, chronic stress may have connections with other bio-psycho-social conditions. In this article we would like to disclose the unity of mental and physical conditions through the lens of psychological and physical well-being and investigate their interconnection with pain and stress conditions, also mindfulness as possible regulator.

Methods. 106 adults (males 23, females 83) were examined with next 9 scales. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Mindful awareness (MAAS), Satisfaction with life scale (SWLS), Scale of subjective happiness (SHS), Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Sleep Quality questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES), Questionnaire of the body image, Arousability and Optimism Scale (AOS).

Pearson criteria was analyzed via SPSS Statistics 23. Python Plotly library was used for visualization of correlations via the warmth diagram.

Results. The analysis of received data showed an amount of related significant correlations (p<0.01) between variables which if enough for perspective model building. Mindfulness demonstrates notable negative correlations with perceived pain, stress and its subscales (overwhelming and resistance), pessimism, negative body image. Also, mindfulness shows moderate positive correlations with sleep quality, life satisfaction and subjective well-being, self-esteem. According to this, mindfulness can be understood as regulator for stress, pain and improving some components of psychological and physical well-being.

Value and significance. The paper contributes into the body of knowledge of interrelations between pain, stress, mindfulness and well-being. It covers gap in understanding how these variables are interconnected among adults and complements the model of psychological and physical (or psychophysical) well-being. The results can be used for further researches in relevant fields. In practical terms, these results can be useful in designing pain and stress management interventions, with the usage of mindfulness advancing.
