Hopefully this brief breakdown and analysis of attentiveness will allow people to improve their practice, understand what attentiveness "is" and how it works in real terms. I'll make it clear again that this is simply a reflection of my current understanding and is subject to change at any time, these are my attempts at describing the basics of the practice itself without reference to any particular conceptual map of the territory involved. Just real-life, phenomenological details from my own experience which may be of use to others.
