Begin the process of disengaging from all of the objects within perception.
Everything that you can perceive,
You can observe,
Or you are aware of,
Are things that appear within your conscious awareness,
But they are not you.
They are simply things that you are aware of.
Beginning with the visual field.
All of the objects that you can see.
You can perceive these things,
You are aware of these things,
But they are not you.
Open your awareness to all of the things that you can hear.
You are aware of these sounds,
You can observe and perceive these sounds within awareness,
But they are not you.
The taste in your mouth,
This is a sense that you are receiving,
But the taste is not you.
The scent that you can smell,
Another sense that you are receiving,
You are aware of the scent,
You can observe the scent,
But it is not you.
The temperature on your skin,
You are aware of it,
But it is not you.
The sensations inside the body,
You perceive them,
You are aware of them,
You are observing them,
But they are not you.
The current thought that you are having,
Just observe it,
Be aware of it.
You are aware of the current thought,
But this thought is not you.
You are aware of all thoughts that arise in the field of awareness,
But not a single thought is actually you.
The memories that arise in the mind,
You observe these,
But they are not you.
All of your thoughts about the future,
Your projections and imagination,
You can observe these,
They arise within the present moment,
But they are not you.
Your name,
Age,
Height,
Weight,
Job,
Relationships,
Situations,
Circumstance,
You are aware of all of these things,
You observe them as they unfold.
But they are not you.
The awareness that is aware of all of these objects appearing within awareness,
Can you perceive this?
Are you aware of this?
Do you receive the awareness,
Or are you the awareness?
To find that which you are,
Simply remove that which you are not.
Not this,
Not this,
Not this.
Thank you for doing this short meditation with me today.

Be well,
And stay present.
