Meditation on Kuan Yin Verse 1

STEP 1
Come into the present by sitting comfortably with spine straight, eyes softened. Ease into your breaths, counting ‘one’ complete breath, ‘two’ complete breaths, ‘three’ complete breaths. A complete breath is the mindful inhalation and exhalation, a complete cycle.

A breathless state follows. This state of calm arises from the breath exchange experience. This state exists beyond breath. It is called the Bardo.

With each complete breath allow your Self to enter the breathlessness of the Bardo. If only for a few moments, be one with the Real Self.

And smile!
