Passive Meditation
Feel the Absence of Things
Look at a tree, flower, or person with full awareness, then gradually feel the 'absence' after the object is gone while awareness remains.
Practice style
- Choose one object and look at it fully and alertly.
- Move your gaze away, or let the object leave.
- Notice that when the object is no longer there, awareness itself has not disappeared.
Do Not Lose the Witness
The method is only an entrance. Whether it uses breath, dance, sound, darkness, sitting, or relationship, what matters most is gradually seeing what is happening rather than only chasing an experience.
