I figured I'd gather up the various threads related to Direct Mode as well as post links to the videos in one thread.

These are all really helpful, and I figured it best to have a way to quickly find all this stuff in one place.

Youtube Video Series (Meditation teacher Kenneth Folk leads a student to what he calls the "direct mode of perception," a state in which there is no suffering.):
Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

Part 4:

Part 5:


The following threads were posted when this technique was first introduced. They do a good job explaining it - being familiar with all of them should clear up any confusion as to how to do this (there are some subtleties to it).

"Thank you, yes :) have had a nervousness and a lazy feeling in the body all day, but just had a meeting with Kenneth. He taught me a 4-step direct mode practice which seems to work very well against dark nightish nervousness.
5 points: Feel head, hands and feet at once, instead of having attention jump between them.
hollow it out: let tension even out in the body, let the sense of the body become transparent so tension can even out -
fish tank: See the entire body (and world) as a single transparent vessel where every tension (fish) can feel every other tension, due to the incompressibility of mind (water).
close the gap: experiencer ceases to be seperate from experience, there's a shift and a sense of being the body. and there is peace."
