Scenes of meditation

The primary objects of mindfulness are the physical elements (rising and falling of the abdomen during sitting, or lifting, and placing of the feet during walking); mindfulness of non physical elements (mental states, thoughts, perceptions, etc.) is also cultivated.
The sequence of meditative experience involves
1. recognition of the object in the field of awareness
2. the deliberate mental noting of the object; and
3. the observation or experience of the object through its duration.
