Using our senses to see the process of the senses means to be mindful of our sensing and to be a witness of our sensing as we are sensing. I hardly ever do that kind of sensing. I apparently don't want to be that aware, though I wonder what it would be like. As far as I know, I am often fairly aware of my being and what I and others are doing and saying. My mantra has long been process, not outcome. I have long valued inner experience and not just outer things. I am very aware of and protective of my freedom and to a great extent have eliminated blaming and making excuses. I value and am somewhat grounded in 'mindfulness immersed in my body.' However, I have difficulty simply staying with my breath, and don't even put much time or effort into cultivating that, so I don't know of an experience I've had where staying with my breath allowed me to be more aware of where I was being pulled. When I am being pulled, I seem to be aware of it simply through my senses and by being aware of my senses. Maybe I'm saying some of what the article is about in my own language.
