On senses

So, I came across this article on "Senses" at http://buddhanet.net/vmed_7.htm. I am implementing it in a small way and find a new way of looking at things...I am not enlightened that I expect miracles overnight but small things matter most...The article states that one should be mindful to our senses. Like, when I am sitting on a soft cushion, and I get a pleasant feeling, it is neither me nor the cushion that is pleasant...being mindful would mean "If you do not observe soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, then you feel it pleasant. That pleasant feeling gives rise to attachment, desire for your cushion"...One needs to be aware of the part of the body that is giving rise to this feeling of pleasantness and you must feel it soft, soft, soft...You will then, know that softness is by your experience and therefore, being pleasant or unplesant will not be associated with it...The reason why the same cushion will be plesant to some and unpleasant to others, is because one associates the feeling with the object...

Similarly, when you see things, be aware of your consiousness of seeing, (your sense of vision) and not the object nor yourself...This beginning of disassociation will be a starting point for all the others...

Another instance would be to identify your feeling more specifically. Like, if you are in pain, identify very specifically which part of the body is the pain situated in (remember the mind is what is telling you that you are in pain). Once you know that, specify the feeling of pain - Are you feeling hot, irritated, tingly, a striking pain, a rubbing pain etc....Be mindful of its specific nature and then sweep your body through with a fresh whirl of air...

Going further, this will also lead to peace and that state where "you will not feel pleasure or pain" but be more objective...
