Focus on the Empty, Open Space in Which Sensation Arises

A man describes a period of his life falling apart during which he spent the time abiding as being. Recently something came up in his relationship, which he felt as a charge in his gut. During meditation, the sensation would dissipate. Is that also considered abiding in the self? Rupert responds that in this approach, we wouldn't really work on the sensation itself but focus on the emptiness of the space in which it arises. Notice that even the density of the sensation is pervaded by the empty space.
