It affects all aspects of life. Pure awareness is, in fact, life itself. We\u2019re all \u201calive\u201d, but we\u2019re only partially alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not the case that you\u2019re either in the present moment or not. This is a progressive process. Over time, you\u2019ll build more synapses that connect the neurons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this process, you will realize that reality exists on finer and finer levels. After a while, each present moment becomes more and more vast and infinite as you approach pure awareness.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-147c12e7 default

class=\"uag-image-334\" width=\"\" height=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit in any meditation posture you prefer, on a cushion or in a chair. Stack your vertebrae one on top of another, all the way up. Tuck in your chin a little bit so that your crown is holding up the sky. You may also stand. The same principles apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Close your eyes. Relax and take a few deep breaths through the nose. After a few breaths, it doesn\u2019t matter how deeply you\u2019re breathing. The breath will deepen as time goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something\u2019s going to draw your attention, and it\u2019s likely a feeling in your body. I have some issues with body alignment, as of this writing. These issues affect the alignment of the jaw as well. In this meditation, I often first notice some tension in the jaw and forehead. Whatever comes up, go to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Becoming Aware of Tension &amp; Letting it Go<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\u2019re hanging out with the sensation, you may find that your awareness expands to the point where you see where to let go of just a little bit of tension. Maybe there was something you were doing with your jaw, for instance, that you can change so that there\u2019s a little less tension. At the same time, just allow whatever is happening in the present moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pure awareness has a natural tendency to dissolve tension. A resolution just might happen on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">How to Know Whether to Start Controlling Your Awareness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At some point, the current sensation may loosen it\u2019s hold on you. It\u2019s calling out to you less. There might be something else going on in the body that is more compelling now. Go there and repeat the process. Just hang out with whatever\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">How to Work With Thoughts, Emotions &amp; Antsy Feelings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thoughts and emotions may come up at times. You may also experience antsy feelings as your brain resists the present moment awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treat all these things the same way you treat the body sensations. Hang out with them without judgment. Even thoughts are just processes happening within you in the present moment. Notice any body sensations caused by the thought or emotion and hang with those, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pure open awareness of these thoughts and emotions may just cause them to disappear into the background again when they don\u2019t need your attention anymore. Something else will come up that will call out for your attention. Go there and hang out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe your foot is a little tense. Maybe your breath is calling your attention. A feeling of anxiety in your chest just might be asking you for some loving assistance. A car containing 25 cackling clowns and the circus elephant drives by your house. As your present moment awareness deepens, you\u2019ll find it easier to go exactly where you\u2019re needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">How Often Should You Practice Open Awareness for Best Results?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all techniques, this meditation will provide full benefits only if you practice it consistently. Once or twice per day for anywhere between 10-60 minutes is a good rule of thumb. Make sure that you at least do it every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you practice this open awareness meditation, the easier time you will have entering the present moment at any given time. This is so even when you\u2019re not officially meditating.
