Direct your awareness back to the heart center,
And this of course is not a location,
It's a presence.
It's a presence that's not defined by a body-mind.
It's not defined by any sense of physicality,
Or any objects,
Or places,
Or destinations.
It's an open field of pure awareness.
The stillness of being.
The indefinable.
Just rest.
Be fully relaxed.
Open and free.
There is no doing in this space.
There's no striving,
Achieving,
Wanting.
We've let go of all of that.
We are the unmoving background in which all of that appears,
But it's not the truth.
It's not the reality of imperturbable awareness.
And we live in the world,
And everything in that world is an expression outwardly.
We see,
We feel,
We touch,
But here all of that appears temporarily in our awareness.
There are no highs or lows.
No coming or going.
No touching or feeling.
All is beyond the senses.
The senses appear within our pure awareness,
But they do not impact.
They cannot affect that state of being.
And this presence is not contained in any way.
There are no limits.
And here we come to rest.
And in this stillness,
All that arises in support of our being will appear quietly.
It will appear when necessary and where necessary.
And that appearance can be at any time of the day or night.
It's not exclusive to these live sessions.
Like an intuitive knowing,
A moment of great clarity,
Inspiration.
And this feeling you can trust,
This knowing,
Comes from the infinite intelligence and wisdom that is not filtered through a mind of duality or identity.
It's free of all of the conditioning,
Of the stories,
Of the beliefs and concepts.
It's pure,
Untouched,
And fully available.
And there's nothing to look forward to in this space.
Whatever arises,
Arises with no expectation.
It's always in the now,
In the moment it appears.
And it's in our own personal stillness that that inner voice is very clear,
Unquestionable.
If we tend to spend more time in the noise of the mind,
Then even though the offering has been given to us,
We don't necessarily give it the focus.
We don't have the understanding of its truth.
So it can be lost.
And oftentimes these moments of great clarity only come once.
It may appear again but in a different form.
But it may not appear again.
We remain fully open.
Unconditionally available.
Present.
And empty.
A presence of infinite potential.
One that requires nothing from us,
But is given selflessly to us.
And yes,
We do lead busy lives and we have responsibilities.
But they're all outer activities and doings.
And beingness is the unmoving background behind all.
And all of that activity appears within our beingness.
And where we can,
I would encourage everybody to come back to centre.
You can call it meditating if you like.
Come back to centre for a few moments,
Many times each day.
It only takes a few seconds,
A minute,
Two minutes,
Wherever you can.
And the more you do this,
The greater will become the consistency of that imperturbable awareness being forefront.
Until it's constantly there.
It may give you a sense of constant joy.
A quiet joy that's always in the background.
An openness and a smile that you carry.
A warm heart.
Selflessly offering kindness and compassion.
And the time to listen.
To be present.
When someone is talking to you.
That is the oneness.
That is the celebration of being open and free and fully aware and present.
You embrace everybody.
Because there are no individuals.
There are no people.
All is the one field.
The one expression.
The one appearance in multifarious forms.
This is the presence of the natural mind.
The open freedom of the natural mind.
As opposed to the thinking,
Rationalising,
Conflicting physical mind.
And we become aware of both.
And choose where we wish to spend most of our time.
But once you fully embrace and feel your own inherent identity,
Which is awareness itself,
There really is little choice.
Because it all can operate and function very dynamically and positively from this space.
You're not caught by the mind.
You are free and open.
Fully available.
Creatively,
Intelligently,
Wise,
Compassionately,
Self-givingly,
Selflessly,
Boundless,
Timeless,
Unborn and uncaused.
And we can finish this exercise by once again just sounding through our exhaling breath.
We can audibly go ahhh.
So we can do that together and as you do so you will feel the resonance in the heart region.
Okay.
Deep breath in.
Hold it for a moment.
Then exhale.
Ahhh.
Again.
Breathe in.
Hold your breath at the top.
And then exhale.
And just hold your awareness.
