The S-ART framework is a theoretical model that integrates specific meditation practices, namely focused attention and open monitoring, as core components of its methodology [1]. The framework proposes that these meditation practices modulate self-networks [2] and outlines a specific procedural progression for practitioners [3], while also cautioning against the imprecise labeling of such meditation practices in clinical settings [4].

claimThe development of S-ART through meditation is proposed to modulate self-specifying and narrative self-networks through an integrative fronto-parietal control network.
referenceThe S-ART framework focuses on two core meditation practices: focused attention (FA), which is a concentrative practice, and open monitoring (OM), which is a receptive practice.
procedureThe progression of meditation practice within the S-ART framework involves the following steps: (1) stabilize the mind and decrease mental proliferation (rumination) by developing a fully absorbed state of concentration on an object like the breath using focused attention (FA); (2) move on to open monitoring (OM) and other advanced receptive practices that have no object of focus and are receptive to all physical and mental phenomena that arise.
claimThe authors of the S-ART framework assert that the common practice of 'cherry picking' aspects of meditation practices to include in clinical interventions or education curricula and labeling them 'mindfulness' poses conceptual dangers for scientific investigation if the term is not qualified in its specific context.
