Wide, spacious awareness - another question about equanimity nana

How would you define wide, open, spacious awareness in equanimity? What is the experience of it? In my practice I try and include/allow any physical or mental sensation - all of the five senses, thoughts, attitudes, body sensations. Does wide awareness mean full body awareness or is there a mental application of allowing the mind to feel as spacious as possible? Or is it referring more to the idea of acceptance, the attitude of equanimity, and the space/softness that seems to create around sensations?

Basically I'm feeling stuck in equanimity and trying to figure out what to do differently. Coming from a body scan/noting practice I'm not sure how how limited my practice was or what needs to change in order to embrace the openness needed for equanimity.
