Spacious Awareness Meditation

In this meditation we cultivate an open, spacious focus that helps us to include in our awareness whatever is arising in our experience—sensations, feelings, emotions, thoughts, sounds, breath—all arising and passing like clouds moving through the sky.

Just excellent. I am so grateful for all your splendid mediations here on Insight Timer. They have become a mainstay for my practice. Thank you so so much 🙏🌳🦢

Lovely thank you! Another beautiful meditation by a wise and gentle teacher.

Wonderful as always with this teacher. Today, this was my before-dinner meditation. So beautiful, deep, and centering.

I as able to keep on track even when the cat jumped on my lap, stayed for awhile until a noise from the rabbits house got his attention and he left

Thank you! Have to return bc I felt asleep halfway haha!

That was so beautiful! Thank you very much. 🙏🏻🙌🏻🌸

Quite easily my favorite meditation on Insight Timer. Wonderful.

So peaceful now. Namas

Wonderful ☁️☁️💫☀️

Exactly what I needed. I so appreciate your approach, Hugh. Thank you for this teaching.

Fantastic meditation! I enjoyed the focus on spacious awareness and found this to be a powerful alternative to breath focus. Nice balance between guidance and silent moments. And what a lovely and moving poem at the end. Thank you!

I was able to use the analogy to stay and not wander. So helpful.

Thank you, Hugh, for this beautiful, calming and centering meditation 🌷

Thank you for helping me create spaciousness and for the Rilke poem!

I found this to be a lovely way to meditate - being ‘aware’ rather than trying to block out thoughts and feelings. Very helpful to me and an easy way to continue to meditate silently. Thank you.

A wonderful meditation. Thank you so much.

Wonderful reminder of letting things/thoughts/stressors pass by with no attachment. Not getting caught up as creating undue stress. Thank you as always for your kind, soothe and calm voice.

Wonderful guidance for putting the body and mind at rest.

Thank you again, dear Hugh for this spacious, accepting meditation. All of your offerings are so helpful and loving. Wonderful. 🙏💕

Thank you Hugh. I love it!
