The Four Frames Of Reference Part 1- The Body

This is part 1 of a guided meditation series on the four frames of reference, which come from a Buddhist teaching called Satipatthana, sometimes referred to as establishings or foundations of mindfulness. Each meditation will focus on one of the frames of reference, with cues to help establish consistent mindfulness and concentration. While focusing on one frame of reference is a useful tool of practice, each ultimately finds itself entwined with the others. For the first time through, it might work best to do them in order, but they each also stand alone as a complete meditation, so feel free to mix it up, especially if one in particular speaks to you and seems like it will be useful to your practice. Thank you- I hope you enjoy, and I look forward to your feedback.

Thank you, Mark. I found myself lingering and lengthening my attention in the home of my body. Sending good wishes your way.

Mark I’ve missed another 2 lives from being unable to wake in time. Late nights and work, travel. So I’m listening to the Four Frames….! 🙏🏼 this first one was so good. Thank you

Love this, Mark. Off to listen to the other three! Thank you 🙏

Thank you Mark, this was a lovely start to the series. I’m looking forward to the next one. (See how quickly the mind goes to the future! 😂) 🌈

It's always good to attend to the foundations and this short sitting is a timely reminder for me to never think I'm beyond or above the beginning 🙏
