Sensory Equanimity Practise

[caelanb]

Hello, I have just a quick question. Does anyone have any tips and pointers with practising sensory equanimity around distractions (such as food). I did it once and it took me 1 hour of focussing on a sensation in my breathing, where I was able to take two bites and experience mainly the texture of the food, while my thoughts then took me back to the taste of the food. I spent the past few days trying to do the same thing, however I have been listening to the thoughts it seems so. Would that pretty much be how you would apply the technique? Focussing on one thing for a long time, while ignoring the distractions around you from thoughts and the physical world then switching focus to something else while maintaining focus? Thank you, and I hope that made sense. This is my first post, my apologies if it's unclear.

@caelanb  Can you be a little bit clear. I didn't get this.

What do you exactly wanna do ?

I would like to know if you raise your mindfulness, such as practising it through different activities in life, will that help to raise awareness as well?
