Primary and secondary noting question

[Ulax]

Hi,

Anyone know of a meditative practice which involves primary and secondary noting?

I want it to be similar to mahasi style noting. However, I would like it to be an absorption/ single-pointed focused  practice, rather than an insight/ momentary concentration practice.

Thanks in advance.

What's primary and secondary noting?

Abstract meaning
So, for me ‘primary and secondary noting’ refer to techniques that involve:
- 1) Noting/ labelling one, ‘primary’ sensory experience.
- 2) When any other sensory experience comes into awareness, the meditator notes/ labels that sensory experience in some way. For example, until there is a ‘gone’. Then intention is returned to noting/ labelling the primary sensory experience again.

Meaning in the mahasi system
I take the terms from Mahasi's meditation technique. Here is my understanding of how the terms are used there.
My understanding there is that you have a primary object of meditation: Rising and falling of abdomen. The practice involves noting these rising and falling sensations, and labelling 'rising' and 'falling'.
However, as you practice, other sensory experiences will come into awareness. These other sensory experiences are the ‘secondary objects’. Essentially, in Mahasi’s system any sensory experience which is not the primary object (rising/ falling sensations of the abdomen), is classed as a secondary object of meditation. In Mahasi’s system, you then note and label the secondary object in a certain way, i.e. if its thinking, then you note and label the thinking until it disappears. After that you return to noting and labelling the rising-falling of the abdomen again.
