Wrapped in Awareness

Imagine yourself surrounded and suffused by the field of your awareness, like the space outside and in. You find yourself inside this field that serves as a stage for all your physical sensations, all your thoughts, all your emotions, all your sensory experience. But your awareness itself is more than all these, deeper than all its contents.

Sitting still, allowing body to relax and thoughts to subside, notice the silent stage upon which your thoughts arise. Be in contact with that pure consciousness underlying every moment. Intentionally open yourself to this ground of awareness that holds you, that is more profound than all your sensations.

You need not look far, for it is here in you now. If you can recognize it once, your task becomes to recognize it again and yet again, wrapping yourself in it until living in that awareness becomes your norm.
