To begin your journey into this subject, start by noticing the ending of experiences. Each experience that arises has a birth within your initial noticing, an aging as it moves through your sense door, and an ending as it disappears from view. Focus your attention on the ending of the experience. This is happening to us repeatedly in a single moment. The continual falling away of experiences can also take an emotional toll. Just below your active level of conscious awareness you may feel an accumulation of loss, grief, or despair that seems to have no immediate cause. Allow those feelings to surface, and incline your mind toward seeing life from the vantage point of it passing away. Continue this exercise until the endings of experience are as conscious as their beginnings.
