Looking For The One Who Is Aware

Welcome to this session. This guided meditation turns awareness towards itself. An invitation to look for the seed of attention and to discover the qualities of that place of pure awareness. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy this 10-minute guided meditation.

Transcript

I invite you to sit either on a chair or cross-legged on the floor.

Sit comfortably with your back straight and close your eyes.

Let your body resolve itself into a cloud of sensation.

Pay close enough attention so as to relinquish the form of your body.

Let the shape of your hands,

Your back and head.

Just let each new sensation appear in consciousness.

Among those many sensations are those of the breath.

Notice whatever sounds you hear.

Let your mind expand so it's just the space in which sounds are appearing.

And the moment you notice that you are lost in thoughts,

Watch the thought itself unwind and just come back to noticing sensations and sounds.

Observe that you don't actually choose the next thing you notice.

Whatever it is,

Everything is simply appearing including acts of attention.

You don't know what you will pay attention to in the next moment.

See if you can draw back into that position of merely witnessing whatever happens.

Again,

The moment you notice that a thought is present,

Witness it clearly.

Where does it go?

And then briefly look for the finger.

Look for the seed of attention.

Look for what's looking.

And then leave your mind at rest.

Become clearly aware of the sensations in your body.

And let's return to the undifferentiated cloud of sensations.

Temperature.

Pressure.

Tingling.

Whatever is there.

And whenever you feel ready,

Take a few deep breaths.

Few deep breaths.

Gently open your eyes.

Thank you for practicing with me today.
