Welcome.
My name is Helen Quayle.
Today's practice is coming home.
To awareness.
I'll guide us in meditation.
Through different levels of contact with self.
Opening to what we can call non-dual,
Unbounded,
Infinite awareness.
So when you're ready,
Take your posture.
A posture where you can be alert and awake.
But relaxed and comfortable.
There's no need to be cross-legged or on the floor.
Just check in with what your body needs today.
And because this is an embodied practice,
We're including all levels of being.
Just take a moment.
To ease the shoulders in particular.
Minor clicking to roll them one direction three times and another.
All of us hold attention in the shoulders.
And then just turn the head.
To one side and the other,
Not forgetting the breath.
Inhaling to the center.
Exhaling to the side Inhaling to the center.
Exhaling to the side Inhaling to the center,
But gently leading with the chin.
On the inhale,
Back to center.
And again the chin down,
We'll do that one more time.
Supporting connection.
With different systems of the body.
And then come to a stillness.
Make sure that your feet.
Or your seat.
Your buttocks are in contact with something solid.
Floor.
Notice the stance of your body.
It's.
.
.
Openness,
It's tightness.
Notice anything that might have changed a little bit just from that short movement practice.
And with the eyelids closed.
Turn your awareness to the center of the head.
And we'll just rest here for a moment.
Aware that body continues all of the biological functions of the body.
Continue.
Breathing.
Continues with his own natural rhythm.
Awareness,
Attention is resting in the center of the head.
Now let it drop down.
To the center of the chest.
Take a stance of inquiry.
Inquiry without a goal other than being available.
For open awareness.
So not seeking.
Particular kind of meditation or experience,
Or when we meet that inner self.
We let it go.
And hang.
As awareness.
N.
And through.
Center of the chest.
Now let awareness Shift.
Into the ear around the body.
Same awareness.
Inside,
Outside.
Same.
It's the awareness in which.
All.
.
.
Happening is known.
Or sensation,
And you are Anhu King.
From the thoughts.
The sensations.
Emotions.
And this unhooking is.
.
.
Such a Skillful can be such a subtle skillful.
Micro movement.
To the awareness that It's omnipresent.
Already here.
In and through.
Everything.
Objects will arise.
Thoughts?
Most commonly.
We do not follow.
We do not follow a narrative.
We let go and open.
It's a falling.
And every time that we find we have.
.
.
Come to an idea.
This is it.
Got it.
Or I haven't got it.
Will you let that go too?
Open awareness is not.
.
.
An emotion,
It's not a thought.
It is.
.
.
The indescribable which contains every thought,
Emotion.
Stillness.
Movement.
Fill this.
Emptiness.
And it's.
.
.
And the air around us.
Come back in to the center of the chest.
Is it here?
Is there any way it cannot be here?
Center of the brain.
The whole body.
In the body,
Around the body.
Don't try.
Be available for this full case.
Keep letting go.
Into.
Open awareness.
If more subtle states of consciousness emerge.
With experiences or visions or.
.
.
Different kinds of sensations.
It's all perfectly.
.
.
Perfectly good as well.
But it's the same practice.
In this orientation of letting be Letting go.
Really unbounded freedom.
Choice that's available.
Moment after moment after moment.
Without leaving this open awareness or leaving being conscious.
And attuned to it.
We can now include awareness of the breath.
Not letting attention fall inside that.
Practicing.
Opening.
To unbounded awareness and being with.
The breath in this instance.
Just notice.
Here we are.
Here this is.
Always.
Always.
Keep returning anytime.
Keep letting go.
When you're ready to move to completion of our practice.
You can breathe in.
Everything.
That has emerged.
Realized.
And allow it to move through you naturally with its own intelligence.
As you go about your day.
Thank you for meditating.
Much love.
