Sound Awareness Meditation
Sit up straight.
Inhale slowly.
Relax your jaw, shoulders, arms, hands and feet.
Imagine yourself in the center of a circle of sound.
For three slow breaths, listen for the farthest sound.
For three slow breaths, listen for the silence inside the circle of sound.
For three slow breaths, close your eyes and listen for the silence and the farthest sound.
With eyes open or closed, practice SOUND AWARENESS (SA) as often as you remember throughout your day. Gradually increase the number of breaths. (Meditation teachers suggest 20 minutes each day, or more.)
You will see (SA) throughout this workbook, as a reminder to pause for a moment to do SOUND AWARENESS for several slow breaths.
