Alambana Therapy
A mindfulness-based awareness and grounding session
Overview
Alambana Therapy is a mindfulness-oriented wellness practice inspired by the Buddhist concept of Ālambana (Pāli/Sanskrit: ālambana), which refers to the object of attention or mental support used in meditation and contemplative practices.
In traditional Buddhist psychology (Abhidhamma), ālambana describes the focus or object upon which the mind rests, such as breath, bodily sensations, emotions, or sensory awareness.
Alambana Therapy adapts this principle into a guided, non-medical wellness session focused on attention, presence, and conscious awareness.
This therapy is not a medical or psychological treatment and does not replace professional healthcare.
What Is Alambana (Ālambana)?
In classical Buddhist teachings:
- Ālambana means “support” or “object” of the mind
- It refers to what consciousness is aware of at any given moment
- Common ālambana examples include:
- Breath
- Body sensations
- Sound
- Thoughts or emotions
- Visual or tactile perception
This concept is documented in:
- Buddhist Abhidhamma texts
- Scholarly translations of Pāli and Sanskrit meditation theory

- Gentle grounding techniques
