Witnessing the Witness: Transcending the veils of the mind

For this meditation we will become vibrantly aware of the veils of awareness that permeate the mental body, noticing each and every thought, the energy behind the thought, and the witness to it all. 

In doing so, you'll transcend the many veils of the mind as you open up into the wide-open expanse of purely being.

The Process:

1. Simply notice when a thought or judgment comes up, and when it does, look at it without following it or judging it. simply notice that a thought has taken place in the mind.

2. In the same moment, begin to notice the background mood or tone behind the thought. Notice where you feel it in your mental body, in your brain, or perhaps your auric field. Just notice the energy source of where it is arising from.

3. Optional: You may even ask: "Is that me?" "Is this thought who I am?" "Where is it coming from?"

4. Release the awareness of the thought and notice: "Who or what is noticing this thought?" Notice who is doing the looking.

5. Once you’ve felt a sense of the seer, the witness, notice who is noticing the witness.

6. Continue tracing awareness and awareness of awareness into the wide-open expanse of purely being. It may feel as if you're expanding through many veils, almost like thin layers, into a wider witness, a larger sphere of awareness. Feel the spaciousness of this awareness. Rest here

7. And if you notice this spaciousness awareness notice who is noticing that, continue this process until you have transcended all thought, and if you notice that you have transcended all thought, notice who is noticing that you have transcended all thought, keep going.
