I used this meditation on Wednesday. I thought you may like to use it in your own practice:
1. Settle into your favorite meditation position, including savasana.
2. Let your eyes fall closed, and watch your breath for a few moments.
3. Focus first on feeling your body as a whole, as it sits in meditation. Fee that it has been frozen in space, just like a statue - without any movement whatsoever.
4. Send a message through your body - let the idea of stillness wash over your entire form. Then throughout the practice, no matter what happens, don't allow yourself to move even the slightest bit. Let your body relax into the posture, and feel the weight of your body as it sinks down into the floor.
5. Now go step-by-step through each and every part of your outer form from the tip of the head down to your toes, letting it fall deeper into body stillness.
6. Turn your gaze to the inside of the body, and see it as completely empty inside, just a hollow shell, the color of the clear blue sky.
7.then go step-by-step through every inch of this hollow space inside your inner form from the toes up to the tip of the head, making sure you see nothing but empty sky.
8. As you sink deeper into your own meditation, if thoughts arise, allow them to form as clouds and watch them just float away into the brilliant blue emptiness within you.
