Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA classification framework organizes mindfulness practices by their associated intentions and experiential understandings, moving beyond a one-size-fits-all definition. The framework maps practices according to what practitioners aim to cultivate (e.g., attention, emotional regulation, insight) and how they subjectively experience the practice. This provides a practical tool for researchers, clinicians, and practitioners to select, describe, and compare different mindfulness techniques more precisely.
