Summary
This meditation is an open awareness practice. You'll simply notice thoughts, sounds, and sensations as they arise, without judgment or engagement. The goal isn't to stop thinking, but to observe thoughts as transient events, allowing your brain's default mode network, or DMN, to naturally quiet down and fostering a profound sense of peace in the spaciousness of the present moment.
