ADVICE

Begin With A Body Soften

  • Relax body tension by scanning and softening shoulders, hands, chest, belly, pelvis, and points of contact.
  • Use these bodily relaxations as anchors to settle attention into present-moment listening.
ADVICE

Use Listening As The Anchor

  • Include sounds in your field of awareness and let them wash through without needing to act.
  • Rest in the openness that hears, allowing sounds to appear and disappear naturally.
INSIGHT

Sounds Reveal Spacious Awareness

  • Sounds arise within an edgeless field of awareness rather than inside the thinking mind.
  • Recognizing this reveals that awareness itself is spacious, receptive, and naturally restful.
