First, if I bring attention to sensations, what are these sensations made of? Are they substantial? Ephemeral? Awareness itself? What do I find when I look for myself, here and now? And then, who or what is experiencing? Where is this sense of "I" located? What do I find when I explore it more closely? Is that too just a collection of sensations, used as an anchor of a sense of a separate I? Is that too content of experience, as everything else? Then what is really experiencing? Does that address your question? Hm… that seems like a good question to explore.

When you say “notice the sensations and thoughts as emptiness/awareness”is that the same as saying “notice…from the perspective of emptiness/awareness”?
