Passive Meditation
The Peaceful Heart
First allow the whole body to relax deeply, then bring awareness to the area between the armpits—the center of the chest.
Practice style
- Choose the most comfortable posture available.
- Scan the body; when you find tension, you may briefly tighten the area and then suddenly release it.
- When the whole body has relaxed, bring awareness to the center of the chest and remain with the sense of peace.
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.
