Intro
Richard offers a brief orientation to the series.
Exercise
Gaze at your body. Notice how the space above your chest fades to open spaciousness.
Preview
See yourself in the space of awareness. Then let go, accepting whatever appears.
Your body is an appearance in the vastness that is aware of all appearances.
Meditation
You are not your body. You are not your thoughts. You are consciousness itself.
Feel the weight of your body buoyed in the boundless ocean of awareness.
Dissolve the boundaries between the fields of vision, sound, and physical sensation.
A single space contains all that you see and hear—and all that you think and feel.
“The whole field of sensation, your whole body—everything—is floating.”
Explore how your experience of time is itself timeless.
Your entire physical experience is suspended in a sea of consciousness.
Notice how changing patterns of tension arise in the unchanging space of awareness.
Summon a troubling thought—and notice that awareness itself remains untroubled.
The breath simply appears, without effort or control, without shape or boundary.
Contemplation
A mirror reflects the world. A projector represents it. Awareness does both at once.
Your true nature is empty of illusion and ego—and full of clarity and connection.
You’re not inside your head, but are “the vast openness that contains everything.”
Feel the weight of sensation merge with the weightless space in which it occurs.
All experience arises from a source both unknowable and inexhaustibly fertile.
“You've got invisible arms that go around the universe, a completely effortless embrace.”
Your essential nature is free of any walls that might separate it from the outside world.
Sounds, sensations, and thoughts arise, change, and pass—all in unchanging awareness.
Emptiness isn’t about rejecting experience, but letting it occur, while remaining at rest.
