Barely be Aware.
Relax…
smell without smelling…
taste without tasting…
touch without touching…
hear without hearing…
see without looking…
relax…
Eyes open, aware of peripheral vision…
(partially close if it suits)
merely noting, barely aware…
relax…
relax in pure perception…
totally open…
thoughts come, let go…
just be…
barely be aware…
relax…
relax…
relax…
Aware of breath slowing down…
perfect relaxation…
perfect awareness…
barely aware
no doing…
pure awareness…
“Don’t wander, don’t wander, place mindfulness on guard;
Along the road of distraction, Mara lies in ambush.
Mara is this mind, clinging to like and dislike;
So look into the essence of this magic, free from dualistic fixation.
Realise that your mind is unfabricated primal purity.
There is no buddha elsewhere; look at your own face.
There is nothing else to search for: rest in your own place.
Non-meditation is spontaneous perfection, so capture the royal seat.”
Drubwang Tsoknyi Rinpoche 1.
(NB. if we are too alert, too aware, this tends to become conceptual with me doing it)
