Hello dear ones and welcome to today's meditation.
A emptiness meditation.
Just arriving now fully into this space.
Allowing yourself to settle and arrive in the room you are in.
Gently closing down your eyes.
If that feels comfortable for you.
And when you are ready,
Dear ones.
We shall begin.
Allowing your body to be exactly as it is in this moment.
Feeling the simple fact of weight The body is held.
Either flow the chair.
The F.
Nothing to do.
Just become aware of your body.
Now letting your attention widen.
Noticing sounds as they arise.
Sounds inside.
Sounds outside.
Do not follow the sounds.
Just letting them pass through.
Sounds coming into awareness and then disappearing.
Rising and falling away.
.
.
Now noticing sensations in the body.
Tightness.
Warm.
Asha.
Softness.
Numbness.
A subtle flow of energy.
That keeps you alive.
They appear on their own.
And they disappear on their own.
Appearing and disappearing Now gently turn your attention inward.
Not toward your thoughts themselves but toward the space in which thoughts appear.
Thoughts may come.
Let them.
Thoughts will go.
Yeah,
Dumb.
Notice at the space in which thoughts appear does not change.
Begin to sense the background of experience.
Before sensation.
Before thought.
Before any sense of me There is a quiet openness here.
Do not try to name it.
Do not try to hold it.
Just notice.
That it is already present.
Now imagine.
Very gently.
At everything you believe yourself to be.
Is allowed to soften.
Your name.
Your history.
You'll roll in the well.
Not rejected.
Not denied.
Just loosen.
Like clothing placed on the ground.
Notice what remains.
When nothing is being worn.
There is still awareness.
There is still presence.
That is still being.
And just rest here.
This is not emptiness in the way the mind imagines.
It is not dark.
It is not blank.
It is not absent.
It is full,
Without content.
Alive,
Without movement.
If the mind says,
Am I doing this right?
Just notice that thought.
And notice.
That thought appears in the same space.
If a sense of self returns.
I am meditating.
I am remembering.
I am here.
Let that be included,
Too.
The voyage does not exclude anything.
Now sensing something subtle This space is not watching from a distance.
It is intimate.
Closer than breath.
Closer than thought.
It is what is hearing these words.
Rest as at.
Not observing it.
Not entering it.
.
.
Simply being it.
If emotion arises.
Fear.
Joy.
Anger.
Just let it float.
Emptiness does not react.
It allows.
Resting here in this space.
Gently noticing.
At this.
Has always been here.
It did not arrive.
It will not leave.
Even when attention moves even when the world appears.
And characters resume.
This remains untouched.
You are not returning to the world The world is appearing within this.
When you are ready.
Allowing the body to move if it wants to move.
Sounds to be heard if they want to be heard.
Eyes to open.
Or remain closed.
Nothing is lost.
Nothing is added.
The void was never empty.
It was never hidden.
It is simply what you are Have a wonderful day,
Dear ones.
