Easy Open Awareness with Birdsong

This is a mindfulness-based meditation commentary that guides you into an experience of passive meditation, also known as choiceless awareness. This is a commentary that encourages easy, effortless non-directed attention that can lead you into a very natural state of open awareness and profound simplicity. With a background of natural non-looping live birdsong. (Vocals enhanced - March 2021)

Love the timing, birds, your voice

I loved this short mrditation and its impact is so effective - ‘An easy open awareness’ is just what I experienced - so relaxing and left me with a good and mindful feeling to start my day😊✨ Thank you Stephen🙏💚✨

Thanks

Very relaxing thank you. Your phrasing and pauses were very helpful in keeping me from following my thoughts as they appeared.

Relaxing and I love the birdsong. I struggle sometimes with keeping my mind quiet for longer periods of time, so sometimes more active forms of meditation can feel a little forced, this felt a little easier enabling me to see when and where my mind wanders.

Thank you so much that was awesome.
What birds were those?

Just lovely. My favorite pre-work meditation. Thank you for those birdsongs!

Thank you Stephen. I love the feeling of this choiceless awareness meditation, and will definitely be practicing more of it. It removes any expectations that sometimes creep into guided meditations and feels so natural and peaceful!

Nice short guided meditation with birds. Good way to start the day. I enjoyed it.

Perfect for anytime of day. Like hitting the refresh button.

Enjoyed the birds a lot

Very relaxing.

Calming. Relaxing. I really liked it. Especially ESPECIALLY the gently fading closing. Thank u. 🙏🏽

Slightly monotone voice at times, but the meditation itself really helps me to distance myself from my thoughts and feelings and observe and accept things as they are.

Spacious, quiet, simple, birds are nice. Just cuts off abruptly at the end.
Update: the new bell is perfect! Soft and gently ringing out the Meditation. Thank you!

Just what I needed! Great guidance. Thank you

Peaceful

I love the bird song background ☺

Great start to the day...No bell is perfect for me as the birds here can then seamlessly take over 🐦🐦I just think a bell clang finish would be a bit jarring in relation to the beautiful birdsong...but I'd still listen ☺️Thanks!

Very soothing! A good practice for opening your awareness to thoughts, feelings, and sounds without judgement. Plus hearing the birdies in the background was my favorite!

A longer version please!!

Feeling much more calm and centered. Thank you.

Very soothing

Nice and easy

This was a very pleasant experience and easy to engage with. I wanted it to go on for much longer. I'll definitely look into other meditations by this teacher and come neck to this one again.

Relaxing, I really liked the bird 🐦 sounds in the background. Soft voice brought my mind back from wondering. Thank you 😀

End was cut off

Very nice meditation; an ending bell would have been helpful.

Lovely. It sort of fell off at the end.

Very nice. Thank you!

Lovely and peaceful with the birdsong in the background!

Just what I needed while my mind is in total overdrive.
So simple but just goes to show how far away from mind mastery I actually am! 😆
I could sit with those little birdies for a long time. Thank you for this.
