Six Senses Meditation

"Nothing can happen if we can't trust in our direct experience and our direct experience is only ever happening in the six senses." We start our meditation with this statement and the appropriate invitation to take whichever posture corresponds to our current experience (sitting, lying down, standing...). We then ground and connect with space and the breath. The first sensation that we open to is sound, followed by visual sensations, smell, taste, touch/felt sensations in the physical body, and finally the objects (images, thoughts, memories, emotions) in the heart-mind. We end by including in our awareness all sensations which are felt in the six senses.

This meditation has prolonged periods of explorative silence and, as such, is best suited for regular meditators.
