A framework defines essential characteristics of mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) like MBSR and MBCT, distinguishing them from other interventions. MBPs draw from contemplative traditions, science, medicine, psychology, and education; are grounded in a model addressing causes of human distress and pathways to relief; foster present-moment focus, decentering, and an approach orientation; cultivate qualities such as joy, compassion, wisdom, equanimity, and self-regulation; and involve sustained intensive meditation training, experiential inquiry, and exercises. The framework aims to support clarity for systematic research and maintain integrity as MBPs expand into healthcare, education, criminal justice, and workplaces.

A framework for supervising teachers of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) is presented, developed from the experience of eight supervisors, existing literature, and the authors' own training and supervision work. The framework maps the distinctive features of mindfulness-based supervision (MBS) using concentric circles that represent its essence, form, content, and process. The aim is to support the expansion of MBIs without compromising their integrity and efficacy by increasing the availability of competent supervision.
