Anam Thubten, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher and founder of the Dharmata Foundation, speaks on the magic of awareness in this meditation, the same theme as his book The Magic of Awareness.
A note from Sean
When I guide open awareness, a line I come back to is “Nothing else to do. No one to be.” Emotions arise and pass. Thoughts come and go. We are just here, awake and aware.
Try this today. Three times today, stop what you are doing for one breath. Let your shoulders drop and feel your feet. Tell yourself, “Nothing else to do right now.” Notice that you are aware, and let that be enough.
Keep going: The Magic of Awareness (Talk) and Focused Attention and Open Awareness.
This suits anyone curious about resting in awareness rather than working at it. If strong emotion comes up, go gently. Open your eyes and feel your hands. Stop when you need to.
