Welcome the Totality of Experience

In this meditation, we welcome the totality of our experience without being interested in any particular aspect of it. We note that whilst the content of experience continually changes, the fact of being aware remains consistently present throughout and renders all experience knowable. Awareness lies in the background of experience, but also intimately pervades all experience. Normally, we are exclusively aware of the content of experience – thoughts, images, feelings, sensations – and we ignore the fact of being aware, or awareness itself. The content of experience stands in the foreground and the fact of knowing recedes into the background. In meditation, it is the reverse, whereby the content of experience recedes into the background and awareness emerges into the foreground. This recognition is brought about by a relaxation, rather than a focusing of attention. This is the peace of our essential self.
