@georgepoulos: I find that meditating on sounds often brings me to ~the good place~ quicker than meditating on the breath. This is great for beginners. Try this: Sit quietly in your favorite meditation posture and start noticing whatever sounds appear. You might start by noticing the buzz of the room, the birds outside your window, or the hubbub of the roads. As you pay attention, notice how more and more layers of sounds reveal themselves that you didn’t notice before: a distant airplane, a dog barking, a subtle chatter, creaks in the floor. You may even find that you totally lose yourself into this fascinating, infinitely layered sound world. It is simply all around you. How amazing! Notice that all of these sound layers were always around you; it just took you paying attention to notice them! Enjoy the bliss of the sound world for as long as you’d like. This kind of meditation shows how our senses sharpen when we take a moment to let go of the incessant flow of thoughts, narratives, and concepts that are typically clouding our minds. And how cloudy it gets! You have been totally unaware of the birds outside until you sat down to meditate. This is meditation: cutting through ego in order to see (or hear!) the truth. #meditation #beherenow #mindfulness #soundmeditation
