Many times over the years, when together for these meditations, we just sit – in open awareness of present moment. The sensations are present, the room itself is present, each of us -having decided to come for meditation- is present. The moment is present. And, awareness is present.
Awareness always is present. Distraction is simply not being present in the present.
Like a turtle on a rock, be present to the present.
We drop into simplicity and discover layers of riches. They were already present. And, always are.
“Energy follows thought.” A focus on anything organizes one’s attention accordingly. This is something that I love about the facets of meditation and the mandala-like character of anything: an emotion, a perception, the sense of reality or of ‘me’, etc. Having equanimity forefront in my consciousness highlights when I am not in equanimity, which often elicits humor with myself. I’m so grateful for these ongoing insights.
We continue with equanimity.
Peace and ease feel good, pleasant.
We meditate with the unity of joy within equanimity.
An experiment begins this session, a discovery of sorts.
We proceed from there!
