The setting for this live guided meditation was a talk on the difference between "directed attention" and "receptive attention." With receptive attention, we hold ourselves open to our sensory inputs, including thought, seeing them not as distraction but rather as part of our broader field of mindful awareness. In this way we remain in the realm of our experience while stepping out of our reactions to our experience.
