Working With Directed And Undirected Attention

This track is exploring the difference between two ways of using attention. We can direct attention to a particular object, for example, the breath or body sensations or we can let the attention be 'undirected'. When we direct attention to one object we cultivate a stability of mind. When we allow the attention to be undirected we simply track where the attention goes, using awareness to notice the attention move from one sense experience to another. This creates a light and flexible continuity of awareness/mindfulness.

I was able to stay Present for most of this meditation, and I appreciate the journey you took us on. Peace and Love

Such a useful way of working with meandering attention.

Best for morning practice I think. I was too sleepy much of the time
