Sensatation: The major power of Mediatation

Sensatation: The major power of Mediatation
Some step to feels sensation in Vipassana meditation:
 Anything that one feels at the physical level is a sensation—any natural, normal, ordinary bodily sensation, whether pleasant or unpleasant, whether gross or subtle, whether intense or feeble.
 Never ignore a sensation on the grounds that it is caused by atmospheric conditions, or by sitting for long
hours, or by an old disease.
 Whatever the reason, the fact is that you feel a sensation.
 Previously you tried to push out the unpleasant sensations, to pull in the pleasant ones.
 Now you simply observe objectively, without identifying with the sensations.
 It is a choiceless observation.
 Never try to select sensations; instead, accept whatever arises naturally.
 If you start looking for something in particular, something extraordinary, you will create difficulties for yourself, and will not be able to progress on the path.
 The technique is not to experience something special, but rather to remain equanimous in the face of any sensation.
 In the past you had similar sensations in your body, but you were not aware of them consciously, and you reacted to them.
 Now you are learning to be aware and not to react, to feel whatever is happening at the physical level and to maintain equanimity.
 If you work in this way, gradually the entire law of nature will become clear to you.
 This is what Dhamma means: nature, law, truth.
 To understand truth at the experiential level, one must investigate it within the framework of the body.
