# 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 --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
