MIDL: Skill In Transitioning From 'Doing' To 'Knowing'

In this meditation Stephen Procter guides you in how to transition from the focus of your attention to background peripheral awareness as a foundation for insight and doorway to jhana. As attention during mindfulness of breathing progresses it is necessary to switch effort from the 'doing' of attention to the 'knowing' of awareness. This MIDL Meditation Skill helps you to develop sensitivity to this transition by observing the difference between attention and knowing, by switching your focus between the centre of your attention and your peripheral awareness.

What an amazing experience in being aware. Felt a bit like training yet had very peaceful and mindful elements. Gratitude for creating and sharing 🙏

Peaceful and gentle - and also comforting that i recognise this voice years ago, before apps.

Excellent meditation guidance leading to a very peaceful awareness. Thank you.

A simple but very effective practice! Thank you so much 🙏🙏

Wow thanks Stephen this is super helpful. I felt much more relaxed and spacious in my brain and eyes (even tho they were closed) when pulling back to awareness. I could really sense the difference in how much more intense single point "doing" feels. Moving back and forth created a tangible contrast.
