Nondual Guided Meditation with Michael Taft
The title is a little bit of a misnomer. In the ultimate evaluation, awareness just isn’t centered anywhere particularly. It’s either “centered” in all places directly or nowhere in any respect. The traditional place where we consider awareness to originate—the top or the guts, for instance—is solely a habit of the mind. It’s not some sort of reality.
An interesting corollary of the centerlessness of awareness is that we will voluntarily move the apparent center of awareness anywhere we decide. Because any supposed center of awareness is unfair, we will arbitrarily select where we want to pretend that awareness originates.
Doing this has some powerful and useful effects. One is that it demonstrates that the supposed center of awareness is an empty construction of the mind that we will change at will, and even let go of completely. Letting go of it completely is significant as we go even deeper in our awareness practice.
One other feature is that we will use apparent centers of awareness as a point of interest for certain varieties of energy practices, which is the exercise we’re doing here.
