The "Do Nothing" technique developed by Shinzen Young encourages you to simply be present in the moment and allow the mind to rest in a state of open awareness.

The whole goal is to let your monkey mind wander without control, just simple observation.

How to do it:

1. Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down.
2. Allow your attention to rest on the sensations of your breath, without trying to control or manipulate your breathing in any way.
3. As you continue to focus on your breath, simply observe any sensations, thoughts, or emotions that arise in your mind or body.
4. Let whatever happens happen. This stops you from forcing your intentions on what you think about. Let your mind be sleepy, scattered, or unfocused.
5. If you become distracted by a thought or sensation, simply label it with a mental note, such as "thinking," "feeling," or "hearing," and then allow it to pass by without getting caught up in it or trying to change it.
6. Drop any intention to control your attention. You’ll realize how often your mind wants to take over. The moment you notice your mind steer your thoughts, stop.
7. Continue to observe whatever arises in your experience, labeling it with a mental note if necessary, and allowing it to pass by without judgment or analysis.
8. If you become bored or restless during the meditation, you can label these states as "boredom" or "restlessness" and simply observe them as you would any other sensation.
9. When you are ready to end the meditation, slowly open your eyes and take a few deep breaths before returning to your surroundings.
