Mindfulness of the Body – grounding attention in the physical body, breath, and sensations to cultivate presence and stability.
Mindfulness of Feelings – recognising the immediate feeling-tone (pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral) of every experience without grasping or aversion
Mindfulness of the Mind – becoming aware of the overall state of the mind (such as focused, scattered, or reactive), seeing its changing and insubstantial nature
Mindfulness of Phenomena – exploring the patterns and principles of how experiences arise and pass away, deepening insight into the nature of reality
