We do guided MEDITATION WITH PERIODS OF SILENCE FOR AROUND 45 MINUTES,
followed by discussion for around 30 minutes or so. The sitting is
interspersed with MEDITATION INSTRUCTION, perhaps a brief reading, a
little simple inquiry, exploration or movement.We meet every Monday
night, 7:30 pm, ONLINE. Due to covid-19, we are no longer meeting at
the Cambridge Friends Meeting House.
If you find you are running late, come anyway! The format is very
relaxed and open— anyone interested in contemplative practice is
welcome!
About Open Awareness Meditation Group
At the heart of these meditation sessions is the silent exploration of
what we refer to as Open Awareness. We all know what it means to feel
closed, limited, vulnerable, or separate. What is it like to allow
ourselves to return to our natural condition of openness, presence,
non-separateness and ease? This is what we explore in our meetings.
We have been meeting for over a decade. I have been exploring and
sharing primarily from traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the
Indian tradition of Advaita, or what is currently referred to as
Nonduality (some popular examples of this are Francis Lucille, Rupert
Spira, and Eckhart Tolle .
However all of these traditions ultimately point to the same truth,
the truth of our basic awareness or presence which is beyond any
tradition, practice or teaching. This is the presence we share, and
the presence we are, beyond words. This is what we explore in our
meetings.
This group is unique in that there is no specific guiding teacher,
lama, or guru. We all meet as equals to question, share, and inspire
each other to explore the Open Awareness we most deeply are. The
meetings are suitable for newcomers as well as experienced meditators,
and all are very welcome.
