Another cool trick I learned while not-doing is to walk backwards down the street. Sure it sounds simple enough right? Well the whole point of not-doing is to break the mundane routines of our intended actions to break free of the first attention and expand our awareness into the second attention. After some time of walking backwards I began to 'intuit' obstacles that were in my way so I would not trip over them. I began knowing when I was about to bump into something. The next thing I learned doing this not-doing was to actually place my attention into the concrete sidewalk, or the earth, beneath me.. It felt quite cool actually.
