"Peace is always accessible to you... and it's not dependent on circumstances, on your life situation, on thoughts, on emotions, or anything external. It's not dependent on any experience. In fact, it's your very nature."
Journey into the heart of Embodied Awareness with the wisdom and teachings of Louise Kay...
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
This is an opportunity to have a little taste of what embodied awareness is. So make yourself comfortable for this. See if you can, just for 10 minutes, be here fully present with me without any distractions.
And bring all your attention, fully present, into this moment right now. Just notice the movements of your body as it's breathing. Just observe it.
Notice any sounds, maybe inside the building or outside, and see if you can sense a stillness that's here, that's beyond sounds and sense perceptions, like an underlying presence. You might notice it in the spaces between sounds, or the spaces between my words or sentences. Notice the sensation of your body, where it touches the chair, your feet where they touch the ground.
And see how it is to be here, fully present now, without any identity of a story of me. So that means you're just here as awareness, aware. And you're aware that perceiving is happening in this moment.
You might notice that thoughts appear. And those thoughts are perceived. And whenever a thought appears, don't give interest in the content of what the thought says.
Remain very present, very still, just witnessing the thought. And you'll notice that the thought comes, and then it goes. But you, awareness, don't come or go.
You don't move or change. You're always here now. And your nature is very peaceful.
As your attention rests, very gently, effortlessly, in the present moment, just being. Allow your attention to drop into the body, so that you're including the experience of the body as alive sensations. Just notice what it feels like.
Allow the body to be fully felt and experienced as a sensation, without any story, without labeling any experience. And totally and completely let go of any agendas, any ideas that anything should happen, anything shouldn't happen. So there's no waiting for anything to happen.
You're just meeting what's here now very intimately. You're in this open space, and experiences are appearing in you, the aware space. And there's no effort to control these experiences.
There's just allowing of what comes to come, and what goes to go. So there's nothing that you need to do. There's a letting go, and a relaxing into beingness.
When your attention is focused in this way, a presence can be felt. And that presence is an opening to a deeper dimension, a dimension of beingness, which is transcendent of the conceptual self. It's transcendent of thoughts.
And it's always available. It's always here now. Which means that peace is always accessible to you.
And it's not dependent on circumstances, on your life situation, on thoughts, on emotions, or anything external. It's not dependent on any experience. In fact, it's your very nature.
You are this peace. This is the essence of what you are. It's pure consciousness.
So I'd like to invite you to join me for a session where we will dive deeper into this exploration. And I will guide you to know yourself as pure consciousness, not as a mental understanding, but to directly experientially know this truth.
