Sorry ıf this has been discussed.
Here is what I did.
I looked and noticed THE sensation where "I" resides.
I locate the sensation and stay with it with equanimity
After a few seconds the sensation goes away.
When the sensation goes away my body shakes a bit. (Release response, pretty sure)
Then there is a gap of 5-10 seconds or so where I cant find an I sensation.
Then another sensation of I arises
And goes away etc.
Is it supposed to be like this?
(I reached equanimity a few years ago. Then did a lot of "just sitting", self inquiry etc in gwan um zen school.)

I did something similar and found such an exploration very fruitful.

You have made quite a rich treasure trove of a website Nikolai, have you ever considered compiling a lot of it into a book or e-book for wider accessibility and ease of reference?
On this topic i'm reminded of a Kim Katami guided meditation and one of the instructions was to think some phrases that have a heavy sense of self to them and then observe the sensations associated with those thoughts.
