Open Awareness
Choiceless Awareness
How to
Rather than anchoring to one object like the breath, let attention rest open to whatever arises — sounds, thoughts, sensations — noticing each without following it or pushing it away.
Benefits
- Builds a more flexible, less effortful attention
- Useful once a stable focus has already been developed
- Reveals the mind's habitual patterns of grasping and avoiding
Practice
Best attempted after some comfort with Breath Awareness — 15-20 minutes, letting the field of attention stay wide rather than narrowing back to one point.
