Description: Meditation #1: Concentration. Learning to free attention from the tyranny of thought by concentrating it on a single object is the foundation of all meditation practices.
Meditation #2: Choiceless Awareness. Once attention has been freed from thought, we can begin to experience phenomena nakedly, as they really are, without any conceptual filters.
Meditation #3: Liberating Thoughts, Desires, and Aversions. In the beginning, we have to make an effort to ignore our thoughts, and those desires and aversions which fuel them. As we become more skillful in our practice, however, we find that if we simply leave them alone, thoughts, desires, and aversions will self-liberate without our having to do anything.
Meditation #4: Returning to the Source. Like waves returning to the ocean, all phenomena arise from and return to Consciousness, Itself. Thus, if we follow any particular phenomena, it will carry us back to that Source from which both it and we arose.
Meditation #5: Doing Nothing. Having identified Consciousness Itself as the Source of everything, there is nothing more for ‘us’ to do. If we then surrender all efforts whatsoever, there arises the possibility of Realizing that this Consciousness is Who We Really Are.
