Hello. This is mostly a classical attention exercise as taught in mahamudra. Attention that can be directed (aimed) and is more or less alert, is not plain awareness. Awareness has a knowing quality to it. If, for example, the attention is directed to feel the right palm of the hand, at the basis of this attention there is a knowing that the attention is directed to the palm of the hand. This knowing, or basic cognition, is there at all times in sense sensations, thinking, feeling and so on. Understanding this crucial point clarifies what plain awareness practice or shikantaza is really about.

Why is there so much background noise?

Even you don't understand what you wrote.
How compatible is this type of meditation with vipassana slash mindfulness?
Nice trick
Don't see the point of it
It seems like an exercise for something
Advanced talk my a₹&#
Sorry but none of this has anything to do with Shikantaza. In fact its the opposite of it.
Sounds dualistic but okay
