Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Mindfulness training is believed to encourage self-transcendent states, but little research has examined this hypothesis. This study examined the effects of mindfulness training on two phenomenological features of self-transcendence: 1) perceived body boundary dissolution, and 2) more allocentric spatial frames of reference.
METHODS: A sample of healthy, young adults (n=45) were randomized to five sessions of mindfulness training or an active listening control condition.
RESULTS: Results indicated mindfulness training decreased perceived body boundaries (F 4,172=6.010, p<.001, η 2=.12) and encouraged more allocentric frames of reference (F 4,168=2.586, p=.039, η 2=.06). The expected inverse relationship was observed between perceived body boundaries and allocentric frames of reference ((β=-.58, p=.001)), and path analysis revealed the effect of mindfulness training on allocentric frames of reference was mediated by decreased perceived body boundaries (β=.24, se=.17, CI: 0.11 to 0.78).
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, study results suggest that mindfulness training alters practitioners\' experience of self, relaxing the boundaries of the self and extending the spatial frame of reference further beyond the physical body. Future studies are needed to explore the psychophysiological changes that co-occur with phenomenological reports of self-transcendence and the behavioral consequences following self-transcendent experiences.

摘要：
目的：正念训练被认为可以鼓励自我超越的状态，但是很少有研究检验这个假设。这项研究考察了正念训练对自我超越的两个现象学特征的影响：1）感知的身体边界溶解，和2)更多的分配性空间参考框架。
方法：健康样本，年轻人（n=45）被随机分为五期正念训练或主动听力控制条件。
结果：结果表明，正念训练减少了感知的身体边界（F4,172=6.010，p<.001，η2=.12），并鼓励了更多的以分配为中心的参考框架（F4,168=2.586，p=.039，η2=.06）。在感知的身体边界和分配中心参考框架之间观察到预期的反比关系((β=-.58，p=.001))，路径分析显示，正念训练对分配中心参考框架的影响是由感知的身体边界减少（β=.24，se=.17，CI：0.11至0.78）介导的。
结论：综合来看，研究结果表明，正念训练改变了从业者的自我体验，放松自我的边界，并将参照物的空间框架进一步扩展到身体之外。需要进行未来的研究来探索与自我超越的现象学报告以及自我超越经历后的行为后果共同发生的心理生理变化。
