“Coming to Your Senses” is a guided meditation by Sean Fargo at the intermediate level of open awareness practice. It is filed here under addiction, as a practice that may support people working with it.
A note from Sean
To build open awareness, I give myself a few things to rotate between: my feet on the ground, my belly breathing, sounds, and thinking. Feet. Sound. Belly. Thinking. Back to the feet. A short list makes it easier to notice whatever is here.
Try this today. For two minutes, rotate between four things: feet on the floor, your belly moving, sounds, and thoughts. When one comes forward, name it softly, “feet” or “sound,” and let the next one arrive on its own.

This suits people who already feel at home with the breath. If you’re working with addiction, strong cravings, or trauma, go gently. Keep your eyes open if you like, and stop when you need to. It is a support, not a replacement for care from a clinician or program.
