Question in this video:
I've been using the 5 aggregates to note experiences I have during meditation, an itch is noted as form/feeling, thought of work/family as formation, etc, obviously, all experiences are developed through multiple aggregates, but, would you think that this noting technique could encourage clinging to the aggregates rather than helping observe their impermanence?  Also, while using this technique, they are always connected to a hindrance/fetter, which quickly makes it apparent that all experience is wrapped in hindrance/fetter, I know this exhibits the hindrance of doubt, but, this seems short sighted?
