Presence Meditation

(Joshua Tree sunrise -- nothing like it 🧡)


Here's a simple meditation i do pretty much all the time. 

  • Focus on a point in the center of your head. Let it expand to the body but really, just stay there. That does a lot on its own. Don't let anything draw you away from that.  (That's really the key -- stay there no matter what, softly)
  • Enter a pace that is as slow but attentive as a tree. Notice your thoughts, and smooth your reaction to them. Stay in the body.
  • Become your environment. Go into the magic of touch. The pure experience.
  • Invite deep, slow intentional breath
  • Invite deep, slow intentional motion
  • When feelings come, or you hit them, feel them. Notice the thoughts that come with them. Watch it all. Go into it with your focus. 
Notice all the thoughts that are anticipating the future! Telling you what to do and what to be afraid of. Love the essence of being itself. 

Stay there with the eyes open. Move with kindness and peace, not trying to "get somewhere"

And most importantly, be kind to yourself. Find kindness and love it. Kindness is the most important thing. From deep within. 


Combine this with Wim Hof breathing and you're good to go:



I do an abridged version many times a day -- living at the top of the breath brings wonderful deep presence -- accompanied with full, deep exhales that are held at the bottom

Set time aside for this. Or just do it all the time. Sit or stand attentively and just feel... space....

Will you let me know how it goes? I'd love to help inspire as the roller coaster continues. 

Namaste 🙏

The First Step: Remove all Opinions - The Path to Awakened Consciousness

Image
Well, the first step to Awakened Self is food. Your relationship with food, what food, when, quantity. But that's a whole other conversation. (Later post?)  This... is the first step to realizing the Truth of Existence from within : Observe without thought. Feel into the true form of everything without an opinion about it. See that "things" are not what your mind thinks they are. Everything is transient happenings, motions, occurrences that appear and then return. The Formless becoming Form in motion and interaction. Become this. Awaken within this.  It's so simple. To awaken consciousness, and see the Truth of Existence for what it really is, Observe without Opinion. Notice how what is convincing you otherwise... are your thoughts! The ego is trying to preserve itself, hahaha!!!!! (Find the buddha laugh from this... and stay there!) No matter what your goal is (calm center, untangling your mind, realizing God, seeing yourself clearly, to calm the storm..., to answe...

Water is Consciousness - Raw Truth Layers Exposed

Image
From Iceland... at the base of a cryovolcano. In a tide pool, with the water fully receded at low tide. Feeling the Power of the Full Moon in its glory. Seeing the water fill the space... then remove itself into rivers of fractal channels, reminded me of how consciousness works. (Or showed me...) Water is Consciousness. Have you had a dream filled with water? That's consciousness. That means there are big shifts happening. Notice where the water takes you, what it is clearing, what it is bringing. Don't fight it, feel it and flow with it. But perhaps most importantly, when the tides go out... Raw Truth is revealed. Let your Truth, the raw consciousness layers, be exposed. Feel the rawness and vulnerability of what that feels like. Open it to the air and sky and just... be with it. Touch it. Put your fingers into it. Feel the Earth. Feel your inner layers of Truth.  Water comes in... water goes out... And a single waterfall...  So tiny. This is so extraordinary! So much love. ...
