      Can verify. Awareness is unified and looking for a boundary between sense gates can collapse the apparent boundary.

      Get concentrated and look for the boundary between touching fingers, direct experience of Emptiness when the boundary disappears.

      Same thing can be done with different sense gates but requires stronger awareness.

      Oh yeah and it helps to take the view that there is a visual-spacial aspect in feeling and sound, a sonic aspect in feeling and space, and a feeling aspect in space and hearing.

      @nosilverv, I'm writing a quick guide here. I'll work on a more through post. Bring up awareness of the senses. A body scan is a good place to start.

      Choose a domain you want to explore. Set an intention to be gently curious about the sensations there. The hands or face are a good choice because of the large amount of awareness there.

      Suffuse awareness into the domain. What do the nailbeds feel like? The 1st digits, the 2nd, 3rd. Palms. Skin. bones. Warmth. Solidity. Liquidity. Sensation that changes with the breath. Pleasant or unpleasant.

      Then look for the boundary between things. Start small. Where does the boundary between nailbeds and flesh begin? Between 1st and 2nd? ... between fingers resting on each other.

      If the boundary disappears and sensation disappears, its said to have been sealed by Emptiness. Stabilize it and explore the remaining surrounding boundaries.

      Thank you! Is this realization the same as Insight that vipassana gets you? (studied very little, basically only concentration methods so v. surprised at how much body scanning stuff there is)

      My history is basic, 3 characteristics were insights from vipassana; i learned this is mahamudra from Kagyu and the insight is Emptiness. It's more direct and drastic than 3C.

          Haa tru. Ok so vipassana gives you insight into three characteristics of existence: impermenace, no self, unsatisfactoryness. The guide I wrote is for Mahamudra from the Kagyu tradition which gives direct experience into the insight of Emptiness.
