Enter Death

Treat death as part of the process of life; through complete exhalation, relaxation, and witnessing, explore the quality of letting go.

Open-endedCore: Witnessing

Practice style

  1. Sit or lie down and begin with natural breathing.
  2. A few times, exhale fully but comfortably, feeling each out-breath as a letting go.
  3. Do not create frightening images; simply witness body, breath, and impermanence.
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.
