Start by finding your position that you will be comfortable in for the next 10 minutes without moving or shifting.
Observe the sensations within the nose,
Recognizing the dimension of stillness within you.
Let go of control of all doing.
Let the body take the next breath.
Allow yourself to be breathed.
The sensations and phenomena within the nose are constantly changing.
But there is something that is not changing,
Something that is aware of what is changing.
Who or what is watching the breath?
Become aware of the awareness that is observing the breath.
Always being present,
Always being a quantumist with whatever is arising and passing away.
Awareness has no preferences.
It is simply aware.
When you have a preference,
Judging a sensation as good or bad,
It's just a thought,
A fluctuation of the mind.
When you react to that preference,
You feed energy into the pattern,
Reinforcing it.
Be a quantumist.
To be a quantumist means you have no preferences.
You are resting as awareness,
Aware that you are not the mind.
Don't shift away from the discomforts or react to unpleasant sensations.
And likewise,
Don't grasp at pleasant sensations if they arise.
If pleasant sensations arise,
You can lose equanimity if you start craving or try to hold them.
As you observe the breath,
Find out who or what is observing.
Who or what is aware.
Stay with this inquiry single-pointedly in a way that is unbroken,
Continuous,
Continuous.
The mind's attention is fully on the breath and you are simply aware.
If the mind is generating thoughts,
If other sensations are happening within the body,
Stay still,
Stay with the breath.
Don't get caught in other thoughts and sensations.
Don't get hooked by them,
But don't push them away.
Stay single-pointedly with the breath.
Don't be rigid about it.
Be relaxed,
But don't be so relaxed that you become dull or foggy.
Remain alert,
Surrendered,
But determined and patient.
Be here now and be accepting of everything arising in the mind and body.
There's no point in generating inner resistance to your mind and body,
No point in struggling against yourself.
Let go of your controlling.
Don't try to make anything happen.
Let yourself merge into the breath.
Let you go.
Become so intimate with the breath that you let yourself merge into it.
Notice the awareness that is unmoving,
Unchanging.
It has no location,
No quality.
Who is there in that stillness?
That emptiness that is everywhere and nowhere beyond the mind and senses?
Let go of all doing.
Be still and know.
Be still and know.
Awareness can recognize itself.
Stillness can wake up.
Surrender to silence,
To stillness,
Without reacting,
Without preferences.
Without identifying with thought or pushing away thought.
Be like a candle burning itself up.
Let you go.
Let you go.
Let you go.
Let you go.
Let you go.
Let you go.
Let you go.
Let you go.
Let you go.
