DechanDawa can explain it much better than me but the activity you describe I sort of think it could be a formal practise of meditation.
Mindfulness is also meditation.
There’s something I see as very important and that I think I didn’t mention about mindfulness, your post recalled it to me.
Mindfulness is a tool for self-learning. The goal is being aware not only of what’s happening outside, inside you but also those things that are not so apparent but are more hidden behind our behaviours, emotions, etc.
Practice in mindfulness whose meaning is “full attention” is supposed to facilitate you this knowledge. Not to judge yourself or others but to know the reality more as it is.
In the end to see, you have to look and want to look.
Can I ask you a favor? Could you explain a little bit more about your technique? Do you use the music as a mean to help you to stay focused?
