Goal

Effortless stable attention and introspective awareness.

Why it works

Up to now, stability has depended on constant effort. Here effort itself becomes the obstacle. Letting go gradually lets the unconscious parts of the mind take over the job, and the mind starts to work as one.

Obstacles you will meet

  • Boredom
  • Restlessness
  • Doubt
  • Strange sensations

Skills you will build

  • Diligence
  • Gradually letting go of effort

Ready for the next stage when

Stable attention and awareness sustain themselves without effort.
