You Are Everywhere

This meditation asks us to reflect on how we think of the "Self." Is the Self actually present or are you merely going over the motions without a sense of genuine awareness? Use this meditation to become grounded in your own body and the environment you are in, at any point in time.

Transcript

Ask yourself, Where are you located? Are you housed in some part of the body? If so, Which part? Don't try to arrive at the answer conceptually, Just explore it experientially. Where specifically do you exist? If it's a certain place, Can you pinpoint where that is? Is it the body? Is that where you are? Maybe it's the head or brain. Is that where you're located? What about the arms? The legs? Fingers? Toes? Are you housed there, Too? What about the thoughts swirling in the mind? Isn't that also you? And what about feelings and sensations? What about those? Isn't that also part of you? Now look at something in the field of experience, Some object, You would say, Is appearing outside of yourself, Something you would conventionally think of as not you. See the sky overhead? Aren't you as much there as anywhere else you might happen to look? And what about the trees or flowers outside your window? Aren't you there also? How about the sounds being heard? Are you there as well? Can you actually find any portion of the experiential field where you are not? Is there some aspect of experience where you are somehow absent? Or are you filling the entirety of the field of experience? Look anywhere in the field. Is there some part of it that is not you? If you say yes, Why are you drawing the line there as opposed to some other place? Isn't it arbitrary to say one part of the field is you while another part is not? Could it be that you have no specific location? Or we could say that you are simply located everywhere, That you are in fact the entirety of the experiential field.

Reviews

When I first heard the question I thought I draw the distinction to where I would feel pain if I was hurt. But when I thought about it again I saw that other beings’ or objects’ pain affects me too, I feel their pain. The meditation became an exercise in empathy. Thank you very much for the meditation recoding.

I am everywhere now that you have brought my awareness to where I am. 💜

So, so true.
I am - every experience, past present, future - in every moment.
I am truly blessed for this enriching insight.
Thank you.
