“Pain represents 10 percent of the problem, while suffering, which is not wanting to feel the pain, represents 90 percent of the problem.”
― Rob Nairn, From Mindfulness to Insight: Meditations to Release Your Habitual Thinking and Activate Your Inherent Wisdom

“There is a natural progression in meditation from using a single support like sound or breath to stabilize our attention, to expanding our focus to include all our experience, both internal and external. At this stage, everything becomes the meditation. This is the practice we have called Resting in the Midst of Our Experience. In other mindfulness contexts, it is called “choiceless awareness,” and in Buddhist meditation practice it is called “calm abiding meditation without an object.” Resting in awareness is also often referred to as “open awareness meditation.”
