Over this online course we explore the practices of vastness of awareness. Through these practices we may notice how the mind can appear to us in meditation as a bright, spacious, unshakable and sky-like space.
These expansive meditative states are revered as potent meditative vehicles and are described as containing all the noble qualities of mind and heart. Such beautiful perceptions support a natural and nourishing sense of compassion and samadhi to arise. From this basis we start opening to the freedom that comes through sensing the Empty malleable nature of phenomena, the self, and even awareness itself.
In this course we cultivate these meditative grounds through simple and practical exercises including listening and opening up the sense of awareness, as well as insight meditation practices. The course follows the Ways of Looking and Emptiness framework presented in Rob Burbea’s work Seeing that Frees. |
