Deeper Mindfulness - Feeling Tone Moment By Moment

This is a twenty-minute meditation to deepen mindfulness of feeling tone (vedana). It starts by anchoring attention in the body, then turns to register the pleasantness or unpleasantness (or neutrality) of what makes contact with the body/mind, including sounds, then thoughts, and emotions. Gradually, the invitation is to register the felt sense of each and every moment, using the out-breath as a reminder, allowing the feeling tone to be just as it is, as best you can.

If the mind gets lost or feels restless, the invitation is to say, on an out-breath, 'No action needed, right now' to help let go of the mind's tendency to be over-busy.

Great teacher, I had bought his book “Mindfulness Meditation for Beginners “ years ago and it literally saved my life. Great person.

This meditation took me to a deep experience of peace and stillness. Rather than using the words suggested I felt out the tone of the moments. I enjoyed the silent stretches. Thank you.

This is my first time attempting to become aware of this aspect of my awareness. This is definitely an advanced skill. I sensed parts getting frustrated at my inability to sense this subtle aspect of each moment, so I am grateful they allowed me to keep trying. Thank you for creating this session. Hopefully in time this will become clearer.

In my opinion this is one of the best feeling tone tracks on the app.

Thank you, Appreciate your loving and soothing voice and guidance 🌷🍃

Wonderful. Loved the longer silent pauses which helped me to focus 🙏

As other commentators said, a different meditation. I love it when guided meditations include long moments of silence. They're more relaxing and more effective.

Very effective practice, a different type of meditation that I found really useful. Love Mark's gentle calming voice guidance.

Love the simplicity of this meditation. No background music. Just the guide and moments of silence. 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻

Wow. What a wonderful next step in my mindfulness journey. Thank you!

Thank you for lovely guidance on how to receive and be with feeling tones.

Definitely helped to lower my morning anxieties, making the start of my day manageable
Calm, grounded delivery...
Thank you..🙏

I loved this. It was well timed and spaced as well as being succinct. Thank you.

Very pleasant experience. The guidance was maybe just a tiny bit too much at times for me but all in all I really liked this. Calming, grounding, focusing, centering..! 🙏

Thank you 🙏 this is quite a lovely experience. The feeling tone, moment by moment, breath by breath. My body is filled with wisdom and grace .

Very helpful direction.,, I’d like the gentle tone of the voice and choices of focus and feelings. Thank you 🙏

Mark Williams’ voice (in several senses) is my preferred guide when meditating. I found his “Frantic World” book life changing. It’s a delight to find more guidance from him here. I’ve just spent 20 minutes effortlessly attending to body sensations and accompanying feeling tones. I’m bookmarking this now!

It is very rewarding and gratifying to return to Mark Williams’s unique style He is where I started some time ago Thank you Mark
