Will "do Nothing" Meditation Make Me Mindful?

[Viking]

if id do it, would it give me concentration, sensory clarity and equanimity?

[Erlend K]

I would assume it's good for cultivating equanimity, but not concentration or sensory clarity.

@Erlend K so should I do different types of meditation at different times to conquer all of these ?

[Erlend K]

At least in the Buddhist tradition:

Samatha/anapanasati mainly develops concentration, vipassana develop concentration to some degree, but mainly sensory clarity and equanimity. "Do-nothing" is mostly a suplementary practice. It can be usefull for instance if you find that you are striving too mutch in your other practices and struggle with letting go. I assume it can help build equanimity as well becourse if its strong focus on non-interference with the activity of the mind.

You don't get something by 'doing nothing' in life.
