This meditation begins with listening to sounds as a portal to spacious awareness. In addition to guiding attention to naturally occurring sounds, Tara plays chimes and gongs to deepen the experience of receptivity and openness. The meditation progresses to include all experience - sounds, sensations, thoughts, feelings - in the vast, transparent, timeless space of awareness.

As you become still, notice this body sitting here breathing. And gently let your attention go to the area of the heart so you can feel as if the breath is coming in and out of your heart. And as if you could listen into the heart, just sense the mood of the moment.
