Guided Meditation by Michael Taft
After the one hour guided meditation there’s a dharma speak and Q&A.
About this meditation. Many folks really feel they’ve a “center of consciousness,” the place the place all consciousness appears to return from. Where I’m. For most Westerners, this spot is often round or behind the eyes. We name this the “felt center of consciousness.”
The factor about consciousness is that – if we have a look at it subjectively – it does not come from anyplace in any respect. It’s simply throughout us. We do not deliberately generate it or let it occur. Consciousness is simply there, and it does not actually have a middle. So the “felt center of consciousness” is a assemble; one thing we make up. Of course, there are actual bodily sensations, similar to the sensation of the eyes or the muscle mass across the eyes. But we merely “assign” the supply of consciousness to these sensations.
Once you discover that, it turns into straightforward to maneuver the “felt center of consciousness” across the physique to wherever you need. If you’re conscious of a spot (ie you’re feeling it), then you’ll be able to assign these emotions to turn into the brand new felt middle of consciousness. We transfer it to a few facilities of consciousness on this meditation. This seems to be very enjoyable and attention-grabbing. And it additionally results in the additional realization that consciousness will not be really centered anyplace, generated anyplace. Consciousness is straightforward.
