For this audio it may be good for you to find a nice quiet place.
A place where you won't be disturbed,
Especially by others.
Sounds and feelings won't matter and will actually play a part in this.
So find somewhere nice and comfortable and go lay down.
Somewhere where you know you can let go of everything and just be.
Are you ready?
The first thing I suggest for you is to notice your breathing.
Just notice it.
Let your attention turn to it.
There is no need to control anything.
No need to control being.
But you can notice it.
Feel the sensation of your chest rise and fall.
Feel how with every out-breath your body naturally relaxes into the bed more and more.
Your muscles don't need to be tense anymore.
You can let go.
Let go of that tension.
Let it be released.
Leaving you feel more free.
Free from the strain of having to hold on.
There is no need to hold on now.
Just be.
And if your mind is chattering,
That's totally fine.
Just gently turn your attention to your body.
To your muscles.
And notice how everything is becoming more soft.
More natural.
And you don't have to do a thing.
Because it's all being done for you.
You are being lived.
That's how you let go.
You get out of the way and let your body do what it does.
And you can feel the subtle joy in that.
Your mind may call it boring,
But it's peaceful.
Joyful.
Now,
If you want to play a little,
Try and place your full attention.
Attention in this case just means your gentle focus.
Into your body.
Just relax into your body.
Notice the sensations.
Your heart beating gently.
Your body becoming more soft.
Relaxing more and more.
The muscles on your face no longer tense.
Your chest rising and falling.
The peace on Shikhan.
The silence.
Turn your attention to the silence with me.
The silence where everything happens.
The silence between the words I speak.
That silence is what we are.
But it's not a dead silence.
It's alive.
Alive with subtle energy.
A silence where everything is allowed.
It's already allowed.
Sounds.
Sensations.
Thinking.
Thinking is fine.
Being swept away by a train of thought is fine.
A bird whistling is totally fine.
Everything Gok Rud is allowed in this,
In this peace.
In this quiet.
Have you ever noticed how most people are looking for something?
Searching for something.
Seeking peace.
Money.
Love.
A partner.
Alcohol.
Drugs.
Whatever it is.
Have you ever sat in a cafe,
Sipping tea or coffee and just watched the crowds of people rushing around?
And it looks kind of aimlessly.
All that rushing and racing.
What is it all for?
And what is everyone looking for?
Now if you haven't already,
Close your eyes for me.
Dune de hula.
And let that attention go inside.
Just let it go inside.
It's naturally curious.
And so it's going to move around.
Around your body.
To each one of your senses.
It can shift to the sensations.
The simplicity of laying on a bed.
The breath.
A thought.
Feelings of boredom.
Questioning.
What is all this about?
Feeling totally relaxed.
It is so curious.
Watch it move.
Watch it dance.
Tosche grinke.
Now keep your eyes closed.
But turn your attention to what you are seeing.
As if you were trying to see out through your eyes that are closed.
And it doesn't matter if it's complete darkness or if there's a subtle play of light happening.
What colors are there?
Is it purple?
Blue?
A little bit of green perhaps?
None at all?
Keep looking.
And notice how quiet it is.
While you look.
While you look at the mystic.
Isn't it amazing that when you close your eyes you are there?
There's no need to seek anymore.
Everything is complete.
Whole.
The heart is beating.
The breath is breathing.
Feelings are arising.
Thoughts come and they go.
They come for a few seconds.
Tell you their little story and they go again.
Everything comes and goes in what you are.
That silence.
That alive silence.
Look at it for a while and let the curiosity of consciousness wander.
Consciousness is very curious.
Just let it play.
Let it dance.
Now notice where it wants to go and follow it.
Watch it move.
Put your eyes closed.
It may move to your body.
To the feeling of being a body.
It may move to a train of thoughts.
To the breath again.
To the sounds inside the room.
Inside your head.
Is it inside your head?
If so,
I want you to open your eyes right now and look around the room you are in.
You can see objects but you can see space.
Can you see the space in the room?
So much space so the objects can exist.
It's the same space.
The space in the room is exactly like the space in your body and your head and wherever.
Look around at the simplicity of it all.
At the mystic.
How beautiful it is just to be alive.
Just to be laying there.
Reading.
Relax.
Aware.
Consciousness.
The thing that everyone is looking for is right here and right now.
And you know it.
And you recognize it.
And you also recognize how shy your thoughts can be when you notice consciousness.
That quietness is the joy that everybody is seeking.
Simple,
Present awareness domestic.
