Consciousness

A meditation scripts for probing the nature of consciousness

Object awareness
Focus on your object of choice (the breath, usually)
Move your awareness to other objects, the body, sound, emotion etc.
Rotate between objects at a regular but relaxed pace
Non-choice awareness
Try to open yourself up to many of these objects at once
When you notice a sound, be aware that you noticed it
The same for a breath, a thought, a physical sensation etc.
Let the objects draw you to them
Natural awareness
Focus on your entire body
Especially the back, feel the enclosed shape of your body 
Become aware of all sensations at once
Everything you experience, sober or intoxicated, awake or asleep occurs as a perturbation of consciousness 
Merely a ripple on its surface
Consciousness is like a bubble, containing all of your reality
It floats weightlessly and deforms easily, always springing back
Let yourself be aware of this, the container of all experience
This bubble is not inside your body, or your head, though those objects appear within it
It is the sum total of everything 
Let the boundaries between you and the universe dissolve
They were never there in the first place
Your consciousness is expansive, limitless and warm
​
Let go of all focus and effort, just be with your consciousness 
Let go of your beliefs and opinions, they do not define you
Let go of the pursuit of facts and truth, drop everything and sit in the space that remains
When we find our awareness, there is no effort, there is no concentration, only relaxed expansiveness
Sit, and if you once again become identified with thought, gently push your awareness out to encompass everything again
