This approach is called Recollective Awareness Meditation, as it involves recollecting what happens in one's meditation sittings. One can meditate in any manner one chooses in this approach or use basic instructions that will be introduced to beginning meditation students.

Experienced meditators and beginners are welcome. Please bring a notebook.
