Connecting To Experience And Letting It Be

Mindfulness meditation leads to insight into the nature of our hearts and minds, revealing an inherent clarity, openness, and ease. This meditation was originally recorded as part of an Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation course. In this meditation, we we are exploring what we can call basic common sense. Mindfulness practice is simple, however our minds are not used to simplicity, we need to practice. We begin this meditation with a basic instruction: Can we recognize whatever the mind is knowing? Is it safe to let this knowing happen? Can we let it be? Mark then leads us through a body scan where we explore reconnecting with a basic intimacy with sensations. We practice being both awake and at ease with whatever is being felt in the body.

Again the bell is a somewhat loud and abrupt and may be experienced as startling

Very helpful guidance. I particularly appreciate the word choices, pointing to “leaving it alone” and simply “letting knowing be”. Thank you.
