Okay, let's do one where we're going to go from head to heart space. Okay, so this shows local awareness and what's called spacious awareness or effortless awareness. So the premise is, so you just have to have a premise. It's like an experiment.
that it's not, you don't have to believe anything, you just have to try to have beginner's mind, but it's a different hypothesis, and then we do the experiment, and then you report the results. That's all. So no pressure. So the premise is that the awake consciousness is already here within us. It's not thought-based. It can move your hand, and it can use thought.
And it can put your hand down, and it can put thought down and remain alert. So But where we are in our survival mode is in this negativity bias of the brain, projecting worst case scenarios from the past into the future and scanning for danger. And so in that location, awareness, awake awareness is just identified or attached or blended. It can unhook and de-center and drop.
So it's blended and the whole field is available, but it's a cloud. It's in the cloud, can drop below the cloud and come into your body and you can feel your body directly from within. I've had ballerinas and yoga teachers crying saying, oh my God, I felt my body for the first time from within because they were using it like a like it was a thing appendage that they could move.
But literally, the first feeling is you're aware of your body from within, and then you go to this safe space somewhere below your neck. Some people find it here. Some people feel it in their whole body, and then you're just aware of it. We're behind, within, and in front. So we'll try that. So that's the premise. So you won't know how to do it.
The radical thing is I'm not talking to you, the personality or the doer. I'm talking to you, the awake consciousness. Hello. Nice to meet you. Introduce yourself to yourself. And then somehow you, the awake consciousness, since you're going to want to live this life, why not start now by unhooking yourself from being identified and just drop down, come home. Yeah, how's that sound?
So just simply be aware of listening to my words and hearing them. what I'm saying and noticing that your hearing is happening in your head and you're maybe have a part that's preparing, wondering if you're going to do it right.
And then simply just feel as if awareness is identified somehow this awareness like a bubble, invisible bubble, can simply unhook and decenter and drop down so you're aware of your jaw, your smile from your jaw and smile. And then feel as if this bubble, some people feel like it's an invisible elevator, or like an invisible leaf. It just moves down to your throat, to your neck.
And then, so the key is just don't look up to thought and don't look down from attention that you literally, you're directly perceiving the effervescent aliveness, the space, and the awareness from within your throat, and then let your awareness drop below your neck into your upper body.
And then just feel your upper body directly from within, just like you almost take a little deeper breath and let out a sigh. Ah. So we let it center down. So now your head is like your feet. It's still part of you, but it's no longer the center. Your feet aren't the center and your head's not the center. So you're now looking for a safe space that people say, this is me.
Like your heart mind, heart space. And see if you can go subtler and subtler. And now just go into the awake space within the cells, within the atoms, into this heart space. And just rest almost like you're received in this open presence. And then just being aware of the heart space, it's like you're aware from the heart space.
inside and maybe even you can feel behind you and notice that awareness has your back. The local awareness can open behind you to discover this field of awareness that's always been there without your help and now is coming forward mixed with aliveness in your body like a wave and then kind of feeling interconnected from your heart space out and any thoughts and emotions can come down
like Wi-Fi from the office of your head, just staying home, sweet home in your heart. And it's not your emotional heart or your heart chakra or your physical heart. It's another center. Some people need to go kind of behind and below their emotional heart to get here. So here is another view and another location to be aware from.
That's it.
Yeah. So you're getting out of that. Thought's going to thought, going to scan for danger, eyes, head. And then you're stepping out of that. but you're not spacing out, this way you're coming in to the space within.
Yeah, I can do a couple more quick little glimpses because they're so short and that's the thing. So the thing about that one too is the intelligence of that and the trust, like you're saying, and particularly the automatic thoughts, which is chattering mind,
do not have to be listened to they can move to the background so they're still there they're still mental sensations like sensations in your hands but you don't have to check with them you have you start to trust if oh remember your keys comes up it comes up usually from a part which is different than mental chatter that's one of the habits that when we're in our head
we think because thoughts are going by, they must be important. So we have this habit of like, oh, what is that? Oh, what's that? Oh, I remember that. Oh, that reminds me of that. So as soon as you get out of that, you start to realize, which is what Tai Chi masters and martial artists do, is they're safer physically, emotionally, by being soft and open and not mentally like a guard at a
the the awakeness has to be safe and it has to be functional and it has to actually be more intelligent meaning optimally responsive and active right right yeah and so that's that's why it's a developmental stage is because is to get exactly what you're saying you've got to get the trust to try it and then you've got to confirm the experiment oh i was actually more aware and
And less, even though I wasn't scanning everything and being, you know, looking at everything as I walked in, I just was open. And then, oh, there's the information.
