Episode 6: Guided I AM Meditation

This is a guided mp3 audio for the "I Am" Meditation, also know as I Am That I Am Meditation. It is a type of Self-Enquiry meditation technique.

Meditation is the art of mastering your attention (full definition). While in most styles of meditation we focus our attention on a certain object—either external or internal, gross or subtle—in Self-Enquiry (which is another name for I Am meditation) we focus the attention on the perceiving consciousness. This is the awareness that is behind attention itself, and that underlies all our experience.

In this guided meditation I start with anchoring the attention in the body and breathing, and then we start directing the attention to consciousness itself.

For some people this may seem very abstract, or too subtle, but it is simply our feeling of presence, or existence. It is the open feeling of "I" or "I am", unpolluted by any identification such as "I am this", "I am ". In order to perceive anything, or to do anything, you must be there. We here focus on this "you".
