Noting Meditation - Using Monkey Mind for Awakening
A zen practice of noticing or “noting” what arises into attention.
A meditative practice for bringing our conscious mind towards an object of immediate awareness. Utilizing the Monkey Mind concept as a foundation of this meditation practice I note each swing the “monkey mind” commits. I notice how immediately the monkey mind swings from object to object, and I simply note how each object arises into attention and how immediately a new object arises. The noting this swinging from object to object can be accomplished in multiple ways, there is no correct way to note arising awareness. A universe of instantaneous attention shifting from object to object occurs, and with practice, a playful distance within the mind between object and note develops. The distance, or space, between object and note is the access to the meditation, the step towards noticing how to wake up.
Note: “See - Hear - Feel” for each object arising in awareness.
