| You might listen to this in headphones in a lossless format
|
| This tambrel meditation technique was pioneered by a man named Don Wasserman
|
| And I had the honor to learn directly from Don
|
| He would use acoustic sounds to guide the sensation of the meditation
|
| I have expanded to the synthesizer, so I’ll be at my keyboard to help guide
|
| these sensations
|
| Let’s start with the face
|
| This is a very busy part of our body
|
| This is mission control
|
| A lot of senses meet at this nexus, and there’s quite a bit of activity
|
| There’s a constant chatter in this region, constant computation,
|
| and it’s very loud
|
| But you may not notice it, like a refrigerator that’s running and suddenly
|
| shuts off
|
| That quiet chatter is constantly happening
|
| And it’s good
|
| This is how we decide, how we go about our day
|
| But it is important to have some control over this chatter
|
| For example, let’s gently roll some of the high end off this chatter
|
| It’s important to examine this chatter
|
| These are your thoughts
|
| They say the unexamined life is not worth living
|
| Well the unexamined thoughts, it’s not worth thinking
|
| You might move these thoughts forward from behind your eyes and mind
|
| Just a few feet in front of you, and just, just look at them
|
| See what, see what they’re up to
|
| See what they’re saying
|
| After all, they’re your thoughts
|
| You might notice the thoughts gently orbiting around your head
|
| Until they’re a few feet in back of your head and they gently fade away,
|
| this chatter
|
| And you’re left just experiencing what is currently happening
|
| I like to think of a dog meditating
|
| A deep inhale
|
| Release
|
| Sense a smile spreading through the eyes
|
| And with a gentle listening and receptivity, aware of the ass
|
| This is a chance to check in
|
| I studied with a great teacher who would refer to this as the «ha-ha region»
|
| Listening to and feeling whatever mood is here, without judgement,
|
| an honest contact
|
| Much like the chatter, we’re unaware of our ass most of the day
|
| You might add in an ambience around your ass
|
| Experience this new space
|
| Feel this new sense of freedom to exist with, with ya ass |
