When doing noting, what is meant by noting the intention to do something? Mahasi Sayadaw emphasizes this a lot in his Manual of Insight. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be feeling when I'm "intending to do something." Sometimes the intention is very clear with major actions ex. sitting down or standing up but I can't feel anything with smaller actions such as moving fingers. Also whenever I do feel an intention, it's unclear what I'm intending to do. In fact, I've noticed that sometimes I note the intention to do one thing and then do another. This makes me feel like intentions don't even exist and that there is no way to know what I am going to do. So what do you all think, how should noting intentions be done and how do they feel? And is it even useful to do so? (I hope what I'm asking makes sense)
