Embracing Stillness and Intention
Meditation emphasizes the importance of setting a personal intention before starting the practice, encouraging individuals to reflect on what truly matters to them in that moment. By focusing on the breath and visualizing a sense of openness and lightness around the heart, practitioners can create a welcoming space for their thoughts and emotions. This approach fosters a deeper connection to their inner selves, allowing them to acknowledge and accept whatever arises during meditation without judgment. As practitioners become aware of physical sensations and emotional states, they are invited to explore these feelings with kindness and curiosity, enhancing their meditation experience.
Awareness of the Present Moment
The practice underlines the significance of being present and aware of the environment and internal sensations during meditation. Participants are encouraged to listen not only with their ears but with their entire awareness, integrating sounds and physical feelings into their meditative state. When the mind wanders into thoughts about the past or future, individuals are prompted to gently return to the present moment, recognizing that such distractions are a natural part of meditation. This process reinforces a sense of acceptance and forgiveness within oneself, enabling a more profound engagement with the meditation practice and everyday life.
This meditation guides us to awaken to our senses through scanning through the body and then listening to sounds. When distracted by thoughts we relax open again and again, learning to rest in the formless awareness that includes sounds, sensations and all passing experience.
