Guided Meditation: Being Luminous Emptiness

Good morning, just allow the flow of your experience without any interference images, memories, feelings, sensations of the body and whatever perceptions may be present sights if your eyes are open, sounds, tastes, textures, smells and feel that you as it were take a step back from your experience and you take your stand as that which knows it that which is aware of it there is something that that knows your experience that illuminates your experience that is aware of experience just take your stand as that be that knowingly as you take your stand as this knowing is aware presence experience will of course evolve there may be there may be boredom expectation agitation and so on touch your experience or get involved with it which illuminates it or knows it and you stand to gain nothing nor lose anything from the content of experience and therefore you are at peace your peace does not depend on what is or is not happening in experience see that this knowing or aware presence not only illuminates your experience knows your experience it also contains all experience it has this spacious quality just as every object in the world in the universe requires an empty space in which to exist so every object of experience every thought feeling sensation and perception requires this empty awareness this empty knowing space in which to occur if physical space were not empty there would be no room for objects within it likewise if awareness were not empty of content there would be no room for experience within it it is on account of your emptiness that the fullness of experience is possible simply be knowingly this luminous emptiness see that this luminous emptiness this aware openness is always present always the same never changing never more or less present just always shining brightly and quietly behind and within all experience and see that it does not need to be practiced or maintained it is just effortlessly present effortlessly simply rest not in but this natural don't touch your experience by which i mean don't be involved in your experience just let it be or more accurately see that awareness is by nature already be of yourself the nature of awareness is the nature of the space to allow whatever takes if we leave our experience alone sooner or later it will leave us alone in everyday life the content of experience occupies the foreground of our attention awareness if it is noticed at all recedes into the background meditation is a reversal of this in meditation so-called meditation just by effortlessly abiding in this way content of the density or intensity of experience begins to diminish and recede into the background of experience and the qualities of awareness if we can emerge into the foreground it's imperturbable peace it's inherent fullness or content ease don't lose yourself in experience allow experience to lose itself in you let me try to express this a different way normally we in everyday life we we live in our experience as our experience thoughts feelings sensations and perception from time to time we we visit so to speak the presence of awareness we leave our experience and back to the presence of a one briefly and then go back to experience again you try to reverse this process make awareness your home weight your identity the place you live naturally effortless from time to time you visit your experience you deal with thoughts feelings sensations perceptions but then you come back to your home to yourself so this presence of awareness is becomes your yourself your identity where you live where you stand you live as that not as a bundle of thoughts feelings sensations and perceptions thank you
