Summary

Meditation: Continuous Space Suffused with Awareness (2018-03-28) - By learning to inhabit the body, we discover the space and aliveness that fills the universe. In this meditation we are guided through the body, filling different domains with presence. We then open into the continuous awake space that is both within and surrounds the body. When we notice the mind drifts, we relax back to be that awake space, aware of the changing flow of sensations, thoughts, feelings and sounds.

2:30.6	Sense what wants to let go a little.
2:34.9	Sometimes around the eyes you can feel a tightness and just by smiling into the eyes there can
2:41.2	be a softening and a relaxing, a smoothing of the brow.
