Natural Awareness Meditation

This meditation is from a live Insight Timer session on September 14, 2025. In this meditation, we explore the power of coming into the present moment and resting in a natural awareness. We practice bringing attention to all that is arising in the body, mind, and heart and meeting it with kindness and acceptance, and without judgment.

When the mind moves into discursive thought--plans, memories, worries, daydreams--we kindly and gently bring our attention back to the body and breath. The meditation concludes with a reading from the 8th-century Buddhist monk, philosopher, and teacher Shantideva.

Thank you 🙏
I will allow myself to be a lamp in the darkness

I listened before getting out of bed this morning. It was a peaceful, gentle awakening. I feel grounded and inspired to be present to the day. I love the prayer at the end. Thank you.

Exactly what I needed this morning. I loved breathing in the body and breathing out to calm the mind. And I love the last reading, as well🙏
