Here I offer a guided meditation in which we are invited to systematically open awareness to more and more of experience, until we rest in complete, open awareness. We then include an experience of awareness itself. Since we typically habitually identify with awareness, by recognizing awareness as just another aspect of the ever-changing field, our clinging to that identity begins to loosen, and thus, our suffering begins to wane. Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.org I have been practicing meditation for 36 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books.
