Contemplation of Feeling Tones: Catching the Spark

15-Minute Mindfulness of Pleasant, Unpleasant, and Neutral Hedonic Tones

Posture: Sitting (Nisīdati) · Duration: 15 min

Contemplative Anchor

Feeling is not self; let the tone be known.

Distinguish raw sensations from emotional reactivity. By noticing feeling tones the instant they arise, you prevent pleasant sensations from becoming craving and unpleasant ones from becoming aversion.
