The Four Frames Of Reference Part 3- Mind States

This is part 3 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.

Attending to mind states is challenging. It’s almost like the mind is saying “whee, you’ve calmed your body and feelings, now you can pay more attention to me!” It does take effort and I will continue to work with this. Thank you. 🌈
