Meditation as Participation
Guided meditation and experiential talk
given for the Santa Fe Vipassana Sangha on February 22, 2011
When I took my first Sensory Awareness workshop I had already been a dedicated Buddhist practitioner for several years. I quickly realized that the two approaches not only complemented each other beautifully but that Sensory Awareness gave my meditation practice a solidity and grounded it in everyday life in ways I had not experienced before. It has been my dream ever since to bring the two practices together in my work and occasionally opportunities such as this arise.

I recommend that you participate in the guided meditation rather than just listening to it. It takes about 20 minutes and can be done sitting or lying.

You can also participate in the talk. You will need a fellow participant. For the talk we used stones and sand bags but it may be worth having an every day object ready, such as a mug or plate or something from your office desk.
