All states come and go. Notice awareness itself, unmoving. Guided Meditation with Moojibaba Just Be! (with subtitles) For those who are present who are not used to this, we simply exercise ... It's the most beautiful, profoundly impactful exercise, in introducing, or pulling us out of the chaos of the mental noise of personhood into the purity of being. And have the attitude of leaving everything. And you're to keep the attention only in the sense, the natural sense that you exist, that you are here. There's no shape to that. Just here. The sense of here-ness. And to make a conscious choice not to engage with, or to be pulled into your mind-stream. To just be aware of it. Don't fight it. But stay empty, consciously. We'll start with that. I'll give some guidance along the way. If you hear this sound, [Mooji clacks the sticks] it's just the... It means all that I've just said. Drop everything! Stay empty. Thank you. We'll do seven minutes. Om Om [Mooji rings the bell] Now, all the conversations, questions and answers are finished. Leave all that. Don't be holding onto anything now. The natural sense of being is not a thought process. Just the natural sense of being, stay here, conscious. The mind energy will come, of course. But don't engage with that. That is the key, to not be pulled into the mind-stream. Don't log into it's energy. Be aware of it. But be aware that you are aware. That's it. Stay with this. Om From the mind will come ... It will suggest certain images or thoughts. Don't get... You must will to stay only empty. Like an empty room in which things come and go, but the room is not disturbed. Om [Mooji clacks the sticks] Clear. For some of you, images will come. Don't fight. Stay like an empty screen. Images may come from the mind, sounds, thoughts, but let them move by themselves. You are the awareness. Edgeless, formless, presence. You may feel the feeling to go to sleep. But it is not true sleep. It's is a kind of an avoidance from the mind. So reject that. Try to stay only empty, but conscious. Choose this. [Mooji clacks the sticks] There are no images of being. So even if I say, like clear space, the mind will want to give a subtle image of space. Beingness is natural for you. Remain empty. Do not be attracted to either pleasure or pain. No shape. Only awareness. Feel the mind. Do not engage. Clear. [Mooji clacks the sticks] Do not go into any state. Stateless awareness. Even if pleasant sensations or pictures come, reject them. No memories. No desires. Only aware. For some, it may feel very difficult to do this, but grace is with you, today, supporting this. It's bringing the mind back to its source. No journeys. No strategies. Only stay awake. Aware. No pictures. No scenarios. Om [Mooji rings the bell] OK, ten minutes now? Same, same. OK. Good, good. Om [Mooji rings the bell] Be strict with your exercise. Full power. Empty. Empty. Clear. [Mooji clacks the sticks] Empty. Clear. Formless. Formless. [Mooji clacks the sticks] Be very strict about the mind-field. Only empty. Conscious. Conscious. No cheating. Clear. [Mooji clacks the sticks] If there is any tension in the body, be aware of it, but don't attend. Stay only. Formless, limitless awareness. Unchanging. The purpose here is not merely to enjoy, but to remain clear. All states come and go. Notice awareness itself, unmoving. Movements are coming from the mind and body. That's OK. Notice that the awareness is not affected. Awareness is not sleepy or asleep. It's beyond even awake. Awareness cannot be seen. Even the act of seeing is seen here. Awareness has no form. It is without intention. Natural. Reality. Core being. [Mooji clacks the sticks] [Mooji clacks the sticks] [Mooji clacks the sticks] Free from imagination. Indescribable. Impersonal. [Mooji clacks the sticks] Om [Mooji rings the bell] OK, thank you. Final session today, 7 minutes. Open eyes. Om [Mooji rings the bell] Eyes open. Empty seeing. Seeing being one. Now, as you can see, it is not an exercise in how quiet we can be, but Self-aware, non-dual Self-awareness. By honouring this exercise, you will come to see that the images or thoughts that come in the field cannot eclipse awareness. A dance of momentariness, in the unchanging and limitless field of being. Even beyond being. Imagination is not required. Even the sense of being, arises in this. So in this exercise, you recede back into the original nature. Then you will see, also, the impact of this, the fruit of this, as you move; integrated awareness. With continued practice, the divisions between the mind, being and pure awareness, there will be no such shapes. All one. Without content. The very source of dynamic life. Imageless. Transcend the state of sleepiness. Indescribable. Beyond personality and personhood. The ground of being. Om [Mooji rings the bell] Copyright 2024 Mooji Media Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
