- Shinzen talks in part 2 about the zooming option in detail.
00:05 - Option to spatially direct your attention during the focus on phase
02:43 - Zooming in
03:41 - Zooming out
04:20 - Zooming in and out at the same time, typically with an intense body sensation
05:08 - Sensory phenomena, particularly in the body, tend to have a local impact and a global spread
05:35 - Zooming local and spreading attention globally tends to grease the rails for the spread to occur without resistance
05:50 - "Most of the suffering is in resistance to the subtle spread."

I like how meta this video is with all the camera zooming in and out of Shinzen 🙃
This is extremely useful. This is basically an scientific version of "surrender path"
Ermir, with regards to your first question - Thats a very common experience and totally fine, remember whenever yr noting active phenomena like the thinking, when that active phenomena becomes absent, you note it as a rest - state (& if "noting gone" is part of yr practice then notice the vanishing of the thought!).
Your second question is a subtle type of "sensory challenge", shinzen talks about "turning towards" these challenges, which means continuing to "divide & conquer" the thinking process with Concentration, Clarity & Equanimity, until the driven, pulling quality of the thinking no longer overwhelms you.
Or you can "turn away" from the thinking process into something like body sensations as you describe, while many as much equanimity with the driven thinking as you can while directing concentration and clarity to the body.
See shinzen series on sensory challenges.
Hope that was clear & useful for you :)
I would also love to see an answer for this question, as well!
Is this within a guide somewhere. Zooming technique is not in the five ways manual.
See one of his books "Natural Pain Relief"
This itself isn't a technique itself but an option that can be applied to many techniques, such as "Feel In"
The video is one hour old and the comments are ten years old. Mr Innuendo, if you have a club of intelligent people who listen to Satie and travel back in time, speak up now.
