Alternative dispute resolution, such as conciliation, are more efficient and effective when the parties have high levels of emotional intelligence. Likewise, the practice of mindfulness contributes to the development of that intelligence. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to review literature that guides the application of mindfulness in preconciliation, that is, before the parties begin the formal negotiation of the conflict. To this end, the mixed method of integral review was used, which combines quantitative analysis through the bibliometric technique of scientific mapping, with qualitative coding based on the critical interpretive synthesis technique. As a result, a comprehensive framework is proposed to organize and articulate in synergy the potential fronts for the application of mindfulness, in its multiple meanings, in preconciliation. The proposed framework is relevant to academics, individuals, and organizations from all sectors with an interest in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of these mechanisms.
