Abstract: (Show)
Series 3 is a set of guided meditations developed to accompany Jon’s book, Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness, which will be republished in four volumes in 2018. These meditations emphasize our capacity to be in touch with experience through awareness of the sensory world: breathscape, bodyscape, soundscape, mindscape, heartscape, and nowscape. The practices begin with the cultivation of mindfulness of breathing and mindfulness of body sensations and then move on in sequence to hearing and to the experiencing of thoughts and emotions as they unfold from moment to moment. It also includes a lying down meditation on “dying” to the past and the future and thus waking up to the present moment. Also featured is the practice of choiceless awareness (the nowscape), instructions for mindful walking meditation, an extended loving kindness meditation (the heartscape), and a guided meditation on how to bring mindfulness effortlessly into every aspect of everyday life, what we might call the lifescape.
