Instructions
Reflect and rest in the quiet times of the recording.
Meditation
- Rest the mind open to all experiences.
- Bring up the experiences of yesterday, be it conversations, actions, thoughts, feelings, sensations, sights, sounds, whatever comes to mind.
- How do you experience these events?
- Recall a vivid dream you have had.
- How do you experience the dream?
- Be in the experience of what is happening right now: be it thoughts, feelings, or sensations.
- How will these experiences appear tomorrow, next week, next year?
- What do these three experiences of yesterday’s events, dreams, today’s events that are happening right now have in common?
- In what way are they the display of the mind?
- Rest in the dreamlike quality of experience.
After Meditation
- How reliable are your memories of experiences?
- Do these memories contain attachment and aversion?
- Do they contain all the sensations that were involved?
- Can you establish a connection with life and how illusory and impermanent it is?
- Are you able to recognize that memories are difficult to pin down?
