| '''Definitions'''<br />
| One of the three core attention skills, the ability to allow sensory experience to come and go without push and pull.<br />
<br />
Can be developed through a range of methods, such as noticing when it happens spontaneously, dropping judgments, intentionally relaxing, non-interference, anchoring attention away, noticing disappearances, creating or collapsing distance between yourself and a focus object (through zooming, being the ''witness'', etc.), or accessing a positive emotional state, such as gratitude, compassion, etc.<br />
<br />
'''Foreground/Background:''' You may be focusing directly on a sensory experience or you may be allowing a sensory experience to come and go freely in the background.<br />
<br />
* Background: Equanimity applied to any and all sensory experience outside of the focus range (in distraction space). Practiced by allowing experience to come and go freely in the background of attention.<br />
* Foreground: Applying Equanimity directly to a sensory experience. May be induced with physical relaxation, a matter-of-fact tone in labels, any welcoming or accepting attitude, zooming, or designer options. Pairs with Background Equanimity.<br />
<br />
'''Deep Equanimity:''' A way to talk about transcendence. There is so little friction in the sensory system that sensory experience of form is completely effortless, spontaneous, and non-separate, and sensory awareness of no form is so complete, there is not even light.<br />
