Meditation: Awake, Relaxed and Open

Tara Brach

This meditation includes a full body scan, and then opens the senses to all experience, allowing life to be just as it is. The training is a relaxing back, noticing the sounds that are here, feeling the aliveness of the body sitting here. We call on the two wings of wakefulness and openness, noticing what's happening moment-to-moment with a kind, allowing attention.

We rest and relax back, discovering the presence that's here – our senses awake… in wide open awareness… awake, relaxed, open.
