For example, when we move the body we use a mantra to
create a clear awareness of the experience using a
mantra that captures its essence, as in, “moving”. When
we experience a feeling, “feeling”. When we think,
"thinking". When we feel angry, we say in the mind,
"angry". When we feel pain, we likewise remind ourselves
silently, “pain". We pick a word that describes the
experience accurately and use that word to acknowledge
the experience for what it is, not allowing the arising of a
judgement of the object as good, bad, me, mine, etc.
The mantra should not be at the mouth or in the head,
but simply a clear awareness of the object for what it is.
The word, therefore, should arise in the mind at the same
location as the object itself. Which word we choose is not
so important, as long as it focuses the mind on the
objective nature of the experience
