Just be aware of what's going on in your head like it was clouds in the sky or the crackling of fire. There's no problem to this. All you have to do really is look and listen without naming...and if you are naming never mind. Just listen to that.

We'll just call it 'this.' And if you feel what's going on, which includes absolutely everything you feel....
