For example, any noises, just state the word 'sound' or any mind tension, just state the word 'thoughts' or pain or pleasure, the word 'sensation'. This will enable you the practitioner not to elaborate a story and allow the arising and falling to happen naturally.

Sometimes we all get so focused on an object or sensation, which has it's advantages. However, can make us unaware of everything else that is happening.

It is important to maintain a balance between these two aspects so that the mind can be trained and settle in a more united state of wholeness.
