No-mind doesn't mean not thinking. It means not thinking about not thinking while you're thinking you're not thinking.

I would suggest it is "watching/knowing the process of mind thinking about not thinking". Thinking is abstract, awareness/watching direct.

If someone were to ask me about it, I'd say a sense of vastness is the main characteristic
Consciousness-as-cathedral, not as-living-room.
First time I started getting into some serious no-mind, the spatial dimension of consciousness (I wasn't cognizant of having one) opened up.

Sensations developed a relationship to each other in positional terms, and things that felt close before started feeling so very far apart.
