Guided Meditation: Receiving Life with Open, Awake Awareness, with Tara Brach

This guided meditation invites us to rest in open, awake awareness—a receptive presence that allows life to be received just as it is.

The practice begins by gently awakening attention to physical sensations, then opening awareness to sound and the ever-changing flow of experience. As the meditation unfolds, we sense how open awareness naturally receives each moment of arising and passing life, without grasping or resistance.

In the final part of the practice, we explore how awake awareness holds the tender experience of the heart, offering blessings to our inner life and extending care to all living beings.

This meditation supports:
• Mindfulness and present-moment awarenes
• Deep listening to the body and senses
• Cultivating compassion and heart presence
• Resting in spacious, non-judging awareness
