Welcome.
If you like,
You can allow your eyes to gently close.
Allow your body to slow down and settle in to just being here.
You might take a few deep breaths.
And now,
Keeping your eyes closed,
Become aware of what you see behind closed eyelids.
Let your conscious space be filled up with a sense of vision with eyes closed.
There might be some combination of darkness and light or shapes.
Drop any thoughts about what you see and just see.
The raw sensation of vision.
What does vision feel like?
There's a certain energy to it.
How do you feel seeing?
Now,
Imagine that what you see is like a screen in a movie theater.
And everything that you think is playing out on this screen in front of you.
And just wait and notice what is the next thought that fills up the screen of your mind.
What's your next thought?
Just wait for it to come.
And now zoom out into the you in the audience who's just watching the screen,
Just observing behind your eyelids.
This is your observer self.
This part of you has no desires,
No judgments,
It just watches.
At any point,
You can drop back into just watching.
Just the sense of seeing behind everything.
And now you might just send your attention back to the feeling of breathing.
Take a few deep breaths.
And whenever you're ready,
You can gently allow your eyes to reopen.
And let the experience of seeing come rushing in from your surroundings,
As if you've never seen before,
Because you never really have like this.
And now you might extend this feeling into the rest of your day,
The raw sense of vision and your observer self is always available to bring you out of habitual thought and into immediate experience.
The observer is always here to provide a zoomed out perspective.
