Extend the noting to include
intentions and the resultant movement of the body before dramatic changes in
body posture.
Mental notes such as "intending,"
"reaching," "touching," or "standing," can help
ground our awareness in our bodies and extend the sense of wakefulness beyond
the boundaries of formal sitting and walking periods.
The mental note of "seeing" can be
particularly helpful in counteracting the tendency of our attention to rush out
through the eyes and get lost in the external world.
The mental note of
"hearing" can likewise keep us from getting lost in habitual
reactions to sounds.
Mental noting reveals what our
experience is, how we relate to it, and what happens to it when we become aware
of it.
It helps us to see the basic
characteristics of impermanence, unreliability, and lack of independent
existence that all things share.
Do things change when we pay
close attention to them? How do they change? What is our relationship to these
changing experiences?
These questions lead to a
fundamental shift in our understanding of freedom. Remember that mental noting
is simply a tool. Know when to use it and when to let it go.
Noting is unnecessary when
mindfulness is strong and continuous or when the objects being attended to are
too numerous or rapid in appearance to note precisely. In that case, a general
note (such as "thinking," instead of trying to note the specific
kinds of thoughts) can be helpful.
It is always possible, if
mindfulness is strong enough, to be fully aware of an experience even though
you may not be able to note it.
When noting is used properly,
it leads to the realization of no-self (anatta), the crown jewel of the
Buddha's teaching, as we come to understand directly that there are experiences
but no-one to whom they refer.
As the Buddha said in the
Bahiya Sutta, "Just this is the end of suffering."
