Hi, and welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.
Today, I'm going to talk about
how we can use the awareness of
space as a mindfulness practice.
So as we go about daily life, we
tend to constantly pay attention
to things and to objects.
So we give our focus to our possessions,
our body, our thoughts, other people,
activities and achievements, and more.
But very rarely, if ever, do we stop
to recognize and appreciate the space
that allows all objects to be, the
silent vessel that holds all of the
ever-changing forms in the universe.
Space allows everything
to exist and unfold.
Now we may think of space as just an
empty nothingness, but it holds its own
aliveness, its own mystery, its own power.
So by shifting our focus from the
objects in space to the space in
which those objects appear, we can
often tap into the still and spacious
awareness at the heart of who we are.
We can catch a glimpse of this
spacious and timeless awareness by
noticing things like the brief pause
in between the exhale and the inhale.
The brief pause in between sounds,
just allowing our attention
to linger there for a moment.
Or being attentive to the spaces in
between thoughts during meditation.
In those spaces within you, there is
always this unchanging field of awareness
itself, never altered by the thoughts
or experiences passing through it.
So whenever possible, sensing into
that still, ever present awareness.
Everything that changes has an unchanging
spaciousness allowing it to be.
And when we sense into that, where logic
and language may fail, we might sense
something sacred in that still space.
We can also enjoy moments of pause
in our lives, moments when there's
a space in between activity.
So there's a pause in the doing
sometimes when one thing ends
before another thing begins.
Moments when the house is
quiet, there's nothing to do.
So instead of filling those moments
with more stuff and more doing,
we can just see what it's like to
lean into that stillness and space.
Just enjoying some
space to just simply be.
Practicing in these ways, we can let the
awareness of space and stillness anchor
us more fully in the depths of who we are.
So that's the invitation for practice
today, if this resonates with you, if
it's something that you'd like to try.
Just inviting a spacious awareness into
your day, seeing what effect it has on
your body, your mind, and your life.
All the best with the practice and as
always, thank you for your practice.
Let's settle in now
for today's meditation.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.

I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
