I'm curious about other's thoughts on this.
"So, its amazing how easy it is when you attend to how easy and effortless everything is all the time. Trusting the natural process. Concentration is really just surrender and is also loving kindness. It is the practice that liberates. I dont know that any other practice is needed at this point. The breath is a useful object because it is naturally effortless. Love is effortless and easy. The breath has the love quality in it."
Anyway, just thought I'd share. If you have thoughts that may help to expand on these or guide me that would be great.
Sounds like good stuff to work on in Equanimity. There is a definite letting go quality that is helpful in progressing thru the EQ phases. I would still gently observe the sensations closely and the thoughts too. It is not the content that is important but the observing/noting/noticing/attention of the phenomenon related to the content. See each phenomenon arise and pass away and apply the 3 characteristics in a very gentle way. There are no sensations that are unworthy of investigation. See how it applies to effortlessness, surrender, loving kindness, breath etc.
Good luck,
