Detailed
- Begin by experiencing the *stream of sensation across the whole sense of the body.
- Notice how different sensations happen in different locations.
- Once experiencing the stream of sensation experience stabilizes somewhat, begin noticing the sense of space that the sensations are occurring within. This space is also experienceable.
- Experience the sense of space.
- By experiencing the space, the other sensory experiences that happen within the space will also be experienced, but from a different perspective; as ornaments within the space.
- Let the mind play with experiencing space as your body. Rest as this space. The experiences of mental activity and body happen as ornaments within this space-like experience as well.
- Over time this experience will evolve and naturally unfold as wisdom and understanding develop due to this way of experiencing.

*Other streams of sensory experience can work as entries into this method. Examples are: experiencing the whole field of hearing, the whole visual field, the whole experience of mind that mental activities occur within, etc.
