Bonus: Awareness Meditation

Thomas Hübl: Take a couple of breaths and allow yourself to see what, when you drop into yourself a bit, when you bring your awareness into yourself and to see what’s present in you. Also, when I speak about different levels of our life and experience trauma healing, what resonates in you? What does it bring up in you? And to give that some space. It’s like you can take a screenshot of your inner in a world right now, physically, emotionally, mentally. And then with your old friend, your breath friend that walks with you for a long time already. If you feel your breath and you allow your breath every time you exhale to drop a bit deeper into your body can slow down and prolong a little bit your exhalations, it helps you to regulate your nervous system to more relaxation.

And to see where to drop into your body. Where does your body feel most safe, open, accessible, also energized. Maybe it feels some pulsing, some streaming flow sensations. And still your breath, your exhalations, maybe a bit slow down exhalations and take you even deeper into the body sensations. And as you drop into your body sensations, you can also feel through your body how close or distant you feel from the ground beneath you and whatever you find, it’s good.

Sometimes when there’s more stress in our bodies, we feel a bit disconnected from the ground or distant, and our nervous system is more open and relaxed. We also feel more grounded close to the ground. Maybe we feel the soil underneath our body. And as you connect deeper to the ground, can also notice if there’s some stress in your body, do you feel just grounded and relaxed? Or if there’s some stress in your body and some stress sensations. And then you can feel both the groundedness, your body, where it’s safe and the sensations you call stress and embrace the stress. I guess if you were to say come closer, and as you connect as connected to your body in a deeper way, you can take a moment and see what’s actually aware of you feeling yourself. And I feel my body, I’m aware of feeling my body and I notice that which is aware. I feel sensations, information, data, and now I notice that which is aware of that data still. I feel my body, I’m aware that I feel my body, I notice and think about it. I notice awareness. And within that reflective space, you can connect to your heart space, to your heart, what quality you find. 

Maybe you want to invite a blessing for a part of your life or somebody else, or a world for somebody that might need support, whatever feels right. Then invite a blessing, set an intention, say a prayer as an act of love, generosity, or gratitude. And then once you’re finished, you can take a couple of deeper breaths and back and orient yourself in the space you’re sitting in your body well and when extend also many blessings to his holiness at Dalai Lama and all his work and community. And so I’m grateful for the invitation. Thank you. And I hope it’s a beautiful contribution to the summit. And I wish you well.
