Physicist Stephen Hawking, PhD, says that the universe is made of 3 things, “You need just three ingredients: matter, energy, and space.” Here, we are adding the fourth field, awareness, which allows us to be conscious of all four fields. In this meditation we learn to shift from the dense to the subtlest and back to include everything from a new view and a new you. When we from matter to energy to space to awareness we can feel a multidimensional unity that relieves the root of suffering.

Mr.

Vney's So begin by being aware of the thoughts and energy in your head.

Notice sounds,

Notice thoughts,

And then simply unhook local awareness from thought and have it intentionally shift down through your throat,

Knowing your throat from within,

And continue to move down into your upper body,

Knowing awareness and sensation from within.

Rest awareness and sensation,

Thought free and alert.

And now,

Just as local awareness was able to unhook your thoughts and energy from your body,

Let this awareness unhook from being connected to sensations in your body and surrender behind your back.

Have awareness open,

Let go,

And move to the space,

To the field of space behind your body.

Let local awareness know space directly.

This is the first field of being that awareness can know directly.

And now,

As local awareness begins to surrender back,

It can discover awake awareness,

Which is already aware in the subtlest of all fields of space.

Tune in or open until awareness mingles with space and discovers an awareness that's already been awake and now knows itself.

Wait until awareness mingles with space.

Wait until awareness shifts into being the primary dimension of knowing and being.

And now feel that this field of spacious awareness is already feeling and looking forward and mixing with the aliveness and energy within your body.

So with this spacious awareness as the primary way of knowing,

Notice that it's also inherent within everything you're sensing and feeling from head to toe.

Feel the waves of aliveness dancing within the ocean of awareness.

Notice how awake awareness is already unified with all the other elements of the body.

Awareness is already unified with all your senses,

Thoughts and feelings without needing to identify with them or form a local knower within your body.

Aware of the space behind,

The energy within,

As you now notice that awake awareness is connected forward in front of you to all the things and people,

All the matter,

All the activity,

And every living thing.

Feel this connection to everything as if everything is alive or lit up from within.

Feel this open-hearted awareness going out to recognize the open-hearted awareness within everything and everyone.

Now,

Feel this spacious awareness equally in front,

Within and behind.

Above and below and all around.

Feel the boundless ground of support.

Feel the stillness and the aliveness.

Just in this already happening awareness,

This effortless knowing.

Feel how they're all at once,

Space,

Energy,

Matter and awareness.

One continuous,

Self-sustaining field of aware presence.

You can feel both the all-at-once-ness and also the movement,

The dance from formlessness into form and back again.

Surrendering back to spacious awareness,

Which then comes into your body and then flows out to connect to all in front of you.

The movement of surrendering back to formlessness,

Feeling the formless awareness and the arising of form and energy out of this field,

This ocean,

As a body and a mind.

And then relating to all in front as a continuous,

Unified field on one level and also as separate creatures simultaneously everywhere,

Nowhere and here,

Unified and particular.

The breath is happening by itself.

This is happening without your help.

Notice what it's like when this is your feeling of identity.

When this is your feeling of identity that's not centered in a local knower within your body and yet includes the tenderness,

The sensitivity and the particularness of your humaneness.

Where is the eye?

Scan the field of your body and mind to see if there's a separate sense of self as an object or subject to be found quickly at the speed of local awareness.

And upon not finding any point of view,

Notice the seamless field of aware presence,

Both formless awareness mixed with space,

Energy and objects in the world,

In front of you,

Behind you,

To the sides of you.

Feel the sense of being here now.

The now that includes past movement,

Present moments coming and going and any thoughts of the next moment.

Just feel how the now is all at once and contains everything.

Breath allow a smile to come to your face and don't shift back up to a local manager in your head.

Remain here and see how you can stand and walk to move without losing this ground of being.

Turn again,

Small moments,

Many times until a new habit becomes the new normal.

Extraordinary. Takes us out of the head manager zone and into a spacious awareness of the whole. My description inevitably falls short. This is beyond description.

Fantastic glimpse practice from Loch! After 20 years of sitting practice these simple tools are a revelation - have never come across such clear, simple and reliable pointers for shifting into awareness.

Loch, to me, has found a route to where words have their equal energetic place in relation to the spaciousness of not knowing. Not only do 1 adore his language and his being, I end up, with his precise guidance, adoring my own. Thank you Loch Kelly. If I could study with you directly, I would. I can, in my studies of self and Self continue to learn through your offerings. Peace

Usually I am anxious about the time when I meditate. There is no music, just guidance. 20+minutes felt like a single, beautiful moment. His book has made a huge, positive impact on my life and I am elated to find this meditation.

I love science & also poetry. This seems to me to be a well-placed play on words creating the awareness of everything around us blended seamlessly with a palatable scientific perspective. It's worth the listen.
