Any experience you should be equanimously and objectively aware of perceiving (desirable, undesirable, neither) and sensation (pleasant, unpleasant and neutral) of the arising and passing or the sensation devoid of any craving or clinging while keeping though proliferation in check.
When you let go there is a feeling of renunciation.

In this letting go there is a pleasure also whis is non sesual nature. See: Sal-āyatana Vibhanga Sutta, Pañcak’aṇga Sutta, Bahu,vedaniya Sutta
There are 18 mental examination:
one explores a form that gives rise to pleasure,
one explores a form that gives rise to pain [displeasure],
one explores a form that gives rise to equanimity.```
one explores a sound that gives rise to pleasure,
one explores a sound that gives rise to pain [displeasure],
one explores a sound that gives rise to equanimity.```
one explores a smell that gives rise to pleasure,
one explores a smell that gives rise to pain [displeasure],
one explores a smell that gives rise to equanimity.```
one explores a taste that gives rise to pleasure,
one explores a taste that gives rise to pain [displeasure],
one explores a taste that gives rise to equanimity.```
one explores a touch that gives rise to pleasure,
one explores a touch that gives rise to pain [displeasure],
one explores a touch that gives rise to equanimity.```
one explores a mind-object that gives rise to pleasure,
one explores a mind-object that gives rise to pain [displeasure],
one explores a mind-object that gives rise to equanimity.```
Thus there are six mental explorations with regards to pleasure; six mental explorations with regards to pain [displeasure]; six mental explorations with regards to equanimity.
‘The 18 kinds of mental explorations should be understood,’ thus it is said in this connection.
