Mental noting is a mindfulness meditation technique which aims to label experiences as they arise.[1] In practice, this means using a single word to describe what one is experiencing in the current moment, for example "warmth", "excitement", "resisting", etc.[1] These experiences can be sensory, emotional, or cognitive.[2]
Mental noting has several different functions, including grounding the meditator in the present moment, increase overall awareness, help recognise patterns of experience, and lessening identification with experiences.[1]
Noting practice is common in Burmese Buddhism.[3] It is part of Vipassanā.[4]
