In this meditation, Stephen Procter will guide you in the insight meditation skill of developing your sensitivity to awareness as it sits on different experiences within the field of your senses. In particular awareness of your body, breathing and hearing. Learning to observe awareness of the knowing quality of awareness creates a grounding for mindfulness within daily life and also the ability to observe attraction or aversion as they arise within the mind.
