Open Meditation | A Practice of Mindfulness and Effortless Presence
This guided open meditation invites you to rest in the simplicity of being. You’ll gently train your mind to stay in open awareness, a state of presence that does not need to grasp, fix, or judge what is happening.
So often, the mind wants to analyze or correct our experience. In this practice, you’ll explore how to notice your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without adding the weight of criticism. This is the heart of mindfulness: paying attention, noticing what is here, and staying with it.
Open awareness is spacious, easeful, and always available to you. You don’t need to do anything perfectly. You just need to show up.
Whether you feel distracted or emotionally full, this meditation offers a gentle place to land, to observe what is, and let that be enough.
