Awareness Meditation

Awareness in meditation is described as sensing the mind-body to enable heightened appreciation of our internal and external self. We become more aware of the sensations that are happening in our minds and bodies.

Awareness Meditation helps to focus in the moment and overcome the influence of distractions.

Awareness is fundamental to meditation.

It guides you to self awareness and a profound and penetrating understanding of the self; how your mind works; and begins a journey of inquiry, understanding and knowing that is unparalleled.  You know who you are and what you are doing as you are doing it.

Awareness Meditation is sometimes called ‘mindfulness’. You develop awareness of consciousness, sensing, thoughts, feelings.  An appreciation and comprehension of the harmony between mind, body and spirit emerges from which is developed equanimity; a sense of calmness, presence of mind, assurance and self confidence.

Eric Harrison, a well known Perth meditation practitioner has written a nice article on Awareness Meditation for those who would like to read it.

A form of Awareness Meditation can be practiced by anyone  – you can increase your awareness of your breath and of the tension you hold in your body through a simple body scan – a form of Awareness Meditation that I teach in my Meditation Workshops.
