#62 Open awareness meditation

     "Generate a state of total openness, in which the mind is vast like the sky. Maintain a clear awareness and presence open to the surrounding space. The mind is calm and relaxed, not focused on something particular, yet totally present, clear, vivid and transparent. When thoughts arise, simply let them pass through your mind without leaving any trace in it. When you perceive noises, images, tastes, or other sensations, let them be as they are, without engaging into them or rejecting them. Consider that they can’t affect the serene equanimity of your mind."                           Matthieu Ricard
