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.

Four specific mindfulness practices from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (body scan, mindful movement, breath and body, and befriending) produced similar state- and trait-level improvements in self-compassion, mindfulness, decentering, interoceptive awareness, and psychological quality of life among 160 adults from the general population. After a single session, state-level effects were observed across all candidate mechanisms and outcomes except decentering, with effect sizes ranging from 0.27 to 0.86. After two weeks of daily practice, trait-level improvements occurred in psychological quality of life and most mechanisms (effect sizes 0.26 to 0.64). No practice proved superior to any other. Changes in mindfulness, self-compassion, decentering, and body listening were linked to better psychological quality of life and more self-led practice.
