Effortless Awareness: The Technique Of No-Technique

Dzogchen or Open Awareness techniques, while simple, are not often easy. This related Unified Mindfulness technique – “Do Nothing” or “Auto Focus” – paradoxically allows the practitioner a systematic entry point into “no technique.”

Enjoyed this meditation, good exercise in doing non doing.

Very helpful in contrasting intentions versus truly doing nothing and abandoning intention.

One of my favorites. Varied instructions, each gentle but creating container for an intense, calm practice experience. Very subtle, lots to work with here

I've done this twice now and I love it. The instructions are detailed and clear, shifting modes from active to "calling off the search" is incredibly effective. Thank you!

Great. About 25 minutes in I thought: I feel like I’m working out joyfully in an attention gym. Then you said something like that. This was interesting and fun.
