Resting In Shared Awareness

This guided session invites you into a spacious, grounded experience of shared awareness. Through gentle settling of the body and an unhurried widening of attention, you are guided into a calm field of presence that feels steady, open, and deeply supportive.

The practice begins with grounding in physical sensation and breath, allowing the nervous system to settle naturally. From this stable foundation, awareness widens into a felt sense of openness and connection that remains gentle, steady, and embodied.

Use this session when you feel drawn toward deeper presence, inner spaciousness, or a quiet sense of connection that supports both stillness and daily life.

With gratitude, Josh

Settle into a comfortable position.

Let your whole body arrive here.

Remain with this settling for a few moments,

Allowing attention to rest inside your body.

Simply sensing,

Simply being.

Now begin to notice the space around your body,

The air that surrounds you,

The openness of the room,

The quiet presence that holds you.

Let your awareness gently widen,

Including both your body and the space your body rests within.

Feel how your breath moves inside this larger space,

Your body breathing within a wider field of awareness.

This field feels calm,

Steady.

Allow yourself to rest here.

As awareness widens,

A sense of shared presence may begin to emerge,

A feeling of openness that extends beyond the edges of the body.

This presence feels available,

Supportive,

Inclusive.

Feel how your body responds,

Perhaps a sense of being held,

Perhaps a quiet ease.

Let your breath remain natural.

Let your body stay grounded and supported.

Now,

Notice awareness itself,

The simple knowing that senses breath,

Body,

And space.

Clear,

Still.

Rest your attention here.

Awareness feels open and spacious,

Without boundary or center.

Your body remains distinct and grounded,

While awareness feels wide and shared,

Both qualities existing together,

Naturally.

Take a slow breath in.

Feel awareness gently holding the experience through the body.

As you exhale,

Let any remaining effort soften.

Stay with this sense of openness.

Thoughts may arise and pass,

Sensations may come and go,

All of it held within a calm,

Spacious presence.

This presence feels real and immediate,

A lived experience of connection,

Stable,

Deeply familiar.

Remain here for several breaths,

Your body resting,

Grounded presence,

And open awareness existing,

Together with ease.

As this experience settles,

Notice a gentle sense of belonging,

A feeling of being part of a larger whole,

While remaining fully yourself.

This awareness moves with you.

It lives within each breath.

It accompanies you in motion and in stillness.

Begin to let attention gradually return to the body.

Feel your weight,

Your breath becoming more distinct.

Awareness remains spacious,

Even as focus gently gathers.

When you are ready,

Allow your eyes to open,

Or your attention to fully return to your surroundings.

Carry this sense of shared awareness forward,

Grounded in the body,

Open in presence,

Quietly connected.
