Phillip Moffitt leads a meditation on attention and mindful awareness: being aware of what is occurring and knowing it in the present moment.
A note from Sean
I like to play with the shape of awareness, in formal practice and in daily life. Where is it right now? Is it narrow or wide? What is its intensity? Is it filled with striving, or with gentleness and care?
Try this today. Three times today, pause and ask, “Where is my attention?” Is it narrow or wide? In the head, the hands, the whole body? You don’t need to change it. Just know it is there, for one breath.
Keep going: Mindfulness of Knowing and Attention Focused Narrow.
This suits anyone who wants to notice attention without forcing it. If checking in turns into criticism, go gently. A kind “there it is” is enough. Stop when you need to.
