Open Awareness
Finally, we practice opening into vast space. These meditations dissolve technique and lead us beyond effort into natural awareness. Here, everything is included — thoughts, sensations, sounds — without needing to grasp or push away. Open awareness helps us experience the freedom of being, the sky-like nature of mind. It is a beautiful way to complete the cycle of training, resting in the boundless spaciousness that has been present all along.
5 items- Open Space AwarenessA more open practice, where we drop technique and extend our awareness into space, which helps us then find the space within our close surroundings also.
- Give Yourself the Gift of Time and SpaceFewer words, more space. Give yourself the gift of time and space. And whatever comes up for you becomes workable with willingness.
- Relax into Big MindRelaxing down into the natural rhythym of life, and riding the breath out into space, can bring us into contact with Big Mind, as we release from the fixedness of small mind. This is our true nature, which we can begin to sense and shift our allegiance towards, which brings immense benefit.
- Entangled Processes of LifeLetting go, developing confidence, so that we can let go, and gaining confidence from letting go. Becoming more aware of the entangled processes that make up our being helps us cultivate an affinity for space rather than fixed identities.
- Everything Is IncludedMeditation with “extra” background noise, for a practice in everything being included. Meditation is not about excluding things until we get the perfect environment for us to practice in.
