Try to keep the body nice and still.
Close down the eyes.
Take some deep breaths.
Grounding into the body.
Healing the weight of the body regardless of how busy the mind is.
How painful the emotions are,
The body.
We're just ignoring the content right now focusing on something more fundamental.
Something that is prior to all the content that arises.
Something that is unchanging.
You may notice it as silence.
Even with noise.
Or a stillness.
Even when there's movement.
It might feel like spaciousness.
No boundaries.
Something that is always there.
That has remained the same.
No matter the age of the body.
Would be experienced.
We're going to relax into the part that is unchanging.
Don't try to force anything,
Just see how it's showing up today for you.
It's an intuitive process requires a level of trust.
Something here is familiar,
Unmoving as we begin to explore our essential nature,
Our true nature.
We explore it energetically.
We feel our way through it.
It's not a process for the mind.
It's an exploration.
We see for ourselves.
Is it true that this silence.
.
.
Is still here,
Even when there's noises occurring.
Noisy mind,
Noises outside.
And I still locate the silence.
Or if it's showing as stillness,
Even with the movement of the breath.
Is that stillness still there?
That silence,
That stillness.
That is who you are.
Does that make sense to the mind?
It is more you than anything you could say about yourself.
Is fundamentally you.
It's undefinable That's very real.
And you just relax into our being.
Try to grasp at it.
Just sink and relax.
And this is how we remember.
This is how we experience it directly.
Don't try to figure it out Just try to relax.
And allow it to reveal itself.
As we explore our true nature.
We can see for ourselves,
Does it have a gender?
Have a religion.
Part of a culture.
Have political views.
Does it have beliefs?
Does it care about the state of the world,
The state of humanity?
Or is it just there regardless?
It just exists because it is existence itself.
Not concerned with any of the storylines of humanity,
The planet.
Exists there in a neutral stance for no particular reason,
It just does.
Not reliant upon anything Doesn't need to seek attention.
It is here,
Regardless of how you feel about it.
Or whether you look for it or not whether you're traumatized or not.
More happy,
More sad.
It's just resting in the background Always here to access.
If you wish.
As we give it a tension.
As we focus on it.
It becomes conscious.
It wakes up and then we remember who we are.
Until it feels like a little plant growing.
Instead of water.
It needs conscious attention.
Is already whole and complete.
But it can be unconscious or conscious awareness And this is the process of awakening,
Is allowing it to become conscious in a human form.
There's nothing wrong with it being unconscious.
That's where we begin.
Doesn't make it any better.
There's no hierarchy.
It's just a different experience.
Conscious awareness to be awake in a human form.
The process of awakening is putting attention on this awareness.
Which allows it to grow just like a little plant.
Into a big tree.
It doesn't matter what you've been through,
How much you've suffered.
Who you are at a fundamental level is unchanged,
Unharmed.
Does not require healing.
Healing we do is for the body.
To clear out the vessel.
So that awakening can stick.
Become abiding Your being,
Your true self doesn't need healing.
Being untouched by what has happened.
Can't be hurt,
Can't even die.
Is eternal.
And so when we meditate,
We're tuning into that part of ourselves.
We learn to access that.
And then just relax more and more into it allowing it to take over.
Go from being subtle to very obvious.
Go from being in the back seat to the front seat.
You can see that nothing you've endured in this life Nothing you believed is relevant.
To who you are.
It's all part of a story.
That you believe that allowed you to have the experience of being a separate person.
It couldn't actually be one,
But you could trick yourself.
Like a magic trick into believing it.
And experience it.
The drama,
The tragedy.
Loss,
Excitement,
Hope,
Love.
Full experience.
Just like being an actor in a movie about a character Went through all of those things.
When it's time to wake up.
I'm going to start to put down that story stories where the majority of the suffering is by believing the story.
Get to a point where there's no benefit in holding on to this story anymore.
Experienced everything we need to experience.
Within the illusion.
All of your peace waits here,
Outside of the story.
Life of ease.
Minimal suffering.
