Guided Meditation Exploring the Constructions of Experience: Being with Impermanence, Choiceless Awareness, and Experiences with a "Thick" Sense of Self
2025-09-17 Guided Meditation Exploring the Constructions of Experience: Being with Impermanence, Choiceless Awareness, and Experiences with a "Thick" Sense of Self 39:09
Donald Rothberg
We begin with about 7-8 minutes of developing stability of attention and less distraction, through concentration practice or some other practice. We then explore several aspects of how we "construct" experience. We look at impermanence in several ways, noticing the arising, staying and changing, and passing away with (1) the breath, (2) body sensations, (3) sounds, and (4) the open flow of experience (about 3 minutes). Then there is a period of mindfulness practice with the additional instruction of looking out for a moderate or strong sense of self. We close with a short period of a heart practice such as lovingkindness or compassion.
