Meditation · definition

A meditation approach in which attention is not restricted to one object but remains receptive to changing thoughts, sensations, sounds, and other experiences.

How the term is used

Instead of repeatedly returning to a single anchor, the practitioner observes what enters awareness.

Why it matters

It provides an alternative to tightly focused meditation styles.
