Your Body Is Made of Awareness | A Radical Inner Discovery

What if your body is not solid or separate, but an appearance within awareness? In this guided meditation, you’ll explore the body as pure sensation, allowing the sense of form to soften into a field of experience. As you rest more deeply, the boundaries of the body begin to dissolve, revealing awareness as primary. Blending direct experience with subtle insights from science, this session invites a shift in how you perceive both body and self. Suitable for anyone curious about non-dual awareness and a more effortless way of being.

Sit comfortably and let go of any effort. Abide as an in-awareness, Observing experiences coming and going. Be curious towards your experiences, Like an honest scientist. Remain completely neutral. And by the same token, Any scientist or human have nothing else to assess or measure but their own experience. Every measurement of every experiment is known only through experience. So if we want to know the truth, Then it is important to know the truth of experience. So close your eyes and remain aware of your body. In the realm of quantum mechanics, Physicists delve into the fabric of matter, Discovering that what appears solid, Like atoms, Is predominantly vast emptiness. Even so-called fundamental building blocks, Such as quarks and other subatomic particles exhibit wave-like behaviours instead of solidity. This challenges our perception of tangible boundaries. It reveals that the solidity we perceive is largely illusory, As the essence of matter is far more elusive and wave-like, Field-like. So become aware of the field of awareness in which your body is known. We come to know the existence of our body through its sensations. So notice that right now you are experiencing sensations in the soles of your feet. Similarly, You are also feeling the sensation of breath coming and going. You are also feeling sensations in your palms. All these sensations give you information about the existence of your body. Existence of your body in your own experience. Now, In our experiment, We will try to experience these sensations like a newborn baby, Newborn child, Like a newborn child who has not yet named the sensations in feet as feet. Similarly, It has not named the sensations arising in hands as hands. He has not named his body as body. There are only sensations in the awareness of a newborn baby. Pure, Raw sensations. But he has not given any name or label to those sensations. They are just dancing, Appearing and disappearing in baby's awareness, In baby's experience. So, Without any memory, Without creating any picture in your mind, Just like that newborn baby's experience, Feel the sensations of your body without any name or label. So, Continue to feel your physical sensations like a neutral scientist. Now, Any sensation can be in more or less quantity or intensity. Is the essential nature of each of these sensations different? From the newborn baby's perspective, Every sensation appears to be the same. A newborn baby is experiencing pure sensations only. And now, See if there seems to be any boundary or border in these sensations. Is one sensation different from another? Is the sensation arising in your feet, Is different from the sensation arising in your knees? Just the pure nature of the sensation, Without naming, Without labeling, Without imagining, Without any picture. If these sensations are different, Then where is the visible boundary? Border in between two different sensations? Can you see any border? A newborn baby is the pure awareness, Pure sensitivity. The medium or field in which these sensations have manifested and are becoming known, Pay attention to that field. As you know, Everything needs a medium to appear. Your actual experience is telling you that every sensation that is the knowledge of the existence of your body, Every sensation is appearing and disappearing in this field of awareness. And in this field, They are also becoming known. The sensation of your feet and your head are being experienced and known in the same field. And there is no boundary between these two sensations. No boundary from the point of view of pure awareness. It is just different types of sensitivity, Nothing else. See it clearly, That after the experience of sensation, A thought arises, Which gives name to this sensation, Name as hand or foot or head. Now thoroughly assess as if you are touching these sensations and ask yourself a question. Is there any other substance other than your sensitivity or knowing in these sensations? You are knowing the sensations very intimately. So you can also know the substance it is made of. Are you finding any other substance other than pure sensitivity? Pure sensitivity, That is awareness, Is modulating, Fluctuating, Vibrating and knowing itself as sensations. There is no other substance there, Only pure sensitivity or awareness. Knowing is knowing the knowing. Knowing is knowing the knowing. Awareness is knowing the awareness. You can also see that then a modulation in awareness like a thought is calling this other modulation a hand or foot or head. So different modulations of awareness, One is thought, Another is sensitivity. This sensitivity, These sensations are dancing, Vibrating amongst itself, As itself, In your own experience. Now for some of you it may take some time to clearly ascertain because you have practiced for 20, 30, 40 years, Have given names to these sensations, Have kept them in your memory, Have made pictures of it. So it may take some time beyond this conditioning to experience the sensations as just awareness. The awareness that knows the body is before the body. It is always primary, The first. Your awareness is the pure subject, Witness, Which is experiencing the object of your body. Subject is knowing the object body. We need to remain open to the possibility that we have no evidence that when the body dissolves awareness will also dissolve. Have not had any experience in which consciousness was not present. No experience is possible without awareness. And this is not just yours. It is the experience of all 8 billion people in the world. If there was something outside of consciousness, Someone would have experienced it by now. You would have experienced it by now. You or someone or scientist would have seen, Measured it or felt something outside of consciousness. But there is no way to go outside of awareness. Close your eyes and imagine anything. Imagine that you are on the moon. You are on the Mars. And you will find that there too the experience is only arising in the awareness. And it turns out that we have no evidence that anything happens outside of consciousness. That is we have no experience of awareness not being there. No experience of its birth or death. So remain open to this possibility. That awareness always exists. And you have not seen any boundary of awareness. It is unlimited, Infinite in your own experience. Abide as the pure awareness of a newborn baby. Remain as pure sensitivity beyond memory, Image and conditioning. Every culture in the world has given great respect and importance to the pure awareness of the newborn baby. So without information, Concept or memory, Remain as the purest awareness. Without perception, Memory, Name. Know in your own experience that you the awareness are not just the body or mind. Is it not your own experience that body and mind are in awareness? Awareness is not in the body and mind. Haven't you seen, Assessed that your awareness is primary, Ever-present and encapsulating everything that you know including your body?
