Episode notes
Starting Open Awareness
- Start open awareness with eyes closed, then open them, decentralizing your focus.
- Relax your jaw, release focus on breath and body, and let the mind roam.
Distraction as Meditation
- In open awareness, distractions become the meditation object.
- Observe how the mind sticks to and proliferates from sensory input, like a dog barking.
Contraction and Duality
- The mind subtly contracts onto sensations, creating the illusion of a separate "thing."
- This contraction generates the duality of self and other, leading to suffering.
