Awareness Exercise:
- Allow your seeing-awareness to settle on a physical object nearby.
- Take an extra moment to allow your awareness to fully touch the object.
- Give as much acceptance, respect and appreciation (Love) as you can to that object.
Then look and notice another object.
As the seeing-awareness rests for a moment on the object being seen.
Allow it to be accepted with as little judgment as possible.
Give it as much respect and appreciation as you can.
Now allow your hearing-awareness to notice a sound in your environment. As you listen, give that same loving-acceptance to the sound you are hearing.If you have any difficulty giving acceptance and appreciation to a particular object or sound, try another object or sound. It will be easier at first to experience loving something for no particular reason if you pick a more neutral object or sound.
Suggestions:
- Continue to allow the Pure-Awareness to land on, sounds, colours, tastes, smells, and sensations.
- With each one, accept the object and allow as much love and appreciation to flow towards it as you can.
- Take as long as you like with each experience, and if it is difficult to feel love towards something, just move on.
It will get easier to love for no reason as you repeat this exercise.
IMPORTANT
Now notice other things that may be arising within you:
- a desire
- a feeling
- a thought
- a sensation
- Take an extra moment to send loving attention towards it.
- Just for now, you can love each sensation, thought, feeling and desire that appears within you.
SUMMARY
- As you get the hang of this, you can just allow your awareness to move naturally to whatever it touches next, either inside or outside of you.
- Whatever it lands on, give it love and acceptance.
- Just for a moment, let it be the way it is.
INQUIRE
- What is it like to give simple awareness and love over and over to things that appear in your experience?
- How open and full does your heart feel when you are able to give love in this way?
TIP
If you come to something that is difficult to love or accept, just notice that it is difficult and then love that it is difficult right now.
You can even take a moment to simply love the way some things are harder to love than others. Then move on to whatever is in awareness next.
