Tara Brach, a clinical psychologist and meditation teacher, leads this guided meditation on the space of awareness. It is a practice of noticing distant sounds in silence, with the mind open like space.
Tuning into the open space of awareness is a practice that may help us feel a sense of stillness and silence within. As we tune into the space within and around us, the thinking mind may quiet and our sense of reality may begin to shift. In this meditation by Tara Brach, we are guided to quietly tune into our senses as we perceive the vastness of space that we are an intricate part of.
A Quieting of the Mind
Many people find that this practice slows and quiets a racing mind. As we begin to tune into the open space of our being, we may become more aware of the present moment. Ideas, beliefs, and fears about the past or the future may lessen, and as they do, stress, anxiety, and fear may begin to ease as well.
Heightening Space Awareness
Various mindfulness exercises can help to heighten our sense of space awareness, and it helps to remember that space is all around us, and within us too. To strengthen this understanding, we might close our eyes, ground ourselves through awareness of the breath, and then tune into all the places where we can sense that space is present. The more we practice, the more this awareness may evolve and expand.
