Term Noting
Definitions A widely used approach for developing CC&E that involves acknowledging and focusing on sensory experience for brief moments of time which can last anywhere from a fraction of a second to thirty seconds or more (using what is known as momentary concentration). Labeling is an option to support the process.

Each individual act of noting involves two parts:

  1. Acknowledge a sensory experience, which takes only a fraction of a second.

  2. The second part depends on what happens next.

    1. If the experience instantly vanishes, simply be aware that it has vanished.

    2. If the experience does not immediately vanish, then briefly focus on it (you can actively give the experience your attention or passively receive it). This “focus on” phase may last from a fraction of a second to many seconds depending on your personal style or the needs of the moment.
