General Instructions:
Ground awareness in your body as it sits. Observe the doorway of mind as the six senses strike your mind.
Benefits:
Skill of observing the minds interaction with the six senses.
Develops the ability to observe awareness of awareness.
Weakens identification with mind and its awareness.
In MIDL Mindfulness Meditation Training 49/52 you develop your sensitivity to movements of attention towards the experience of the sense door of knowing. Learning to observe awareness of knowing creates a grounding for mindfulness within daily life and also the ability to observe attraction or aversion as they arise towards what is known. This sensitivity allows you to soften your relationship towards what is known, deconditioning any habitual pattern of attraction or aversion through mindful non-participation.
General Instructions:
Grounded within mindfulness of your body, silently observe and desire 'to do' that arises, soften that desire into stillness.
Benefits:
Develops understanding of mindful non-participation.
Weakens identification with habitual movements with mind.
Develops wisdom in regards to participation and abandonment.
In MIDL Mindfulness Meditation Training 50/52 you practice the higher skill of abandoning all participation through developing sensitivity to mental activity and softening the desire 'to do', for a longer period of time. Abandoning the desire to do has an impact of the habitual proliferation of the mind until all participation is abandoned and purity of awareness, free from proliferation is experienced. This abandoning of awareness from its object gives rise to equanimity and the conditions for the unconditioned to arise. Longer periods of abandoning also has an impact of the clinging within the mind within activities of daily life
