Opie Macleod Presents: A Zoism Meditation Practice
Welcome dear Seeker. A brief explanation before we begin.
Today's meditation session will be a foundational Zoism practice. This is a very simple technique which can be found in many traditions, including Taoist practices dating back to somewhere in 600-900 CE. For this specific technique I will be repeating reminders periodically throughout the practice. If you prefer a more direct presentation with bells instead of verbal reminders see our video “Zoist Meditation - simplified version” (Scheduled for Oct. 5th).
For this technique you will be bringing your awareness to just above and in between eye brows. What many refer to as the third eye. You'll want to keep a general awareness at this point throughout the exercise. I'll be offering a gentle reminder, “the inner eye”, periodically for this.
Your eyes should remain open throughout the exercise with a gentle gaze. Meaning your eyes should gently cast downward following the tip of your nose and focus on nothing in particular. I'll periodically offer the gentle reminder, “soften your gaze”, as a reminder for this.
As thoughts arise, allow them to drift like clouds, give them no heed. This is time to simply be. You need not think or focus on the world right now. This is a time for you to simply connect with the divinity within you. I'll periodically offer the gentle reminder, “Simply Be” for you to let go of any thoughts.
Lastly if you find your mind blanks and there is a nothingness, no thoughts, not awareness, - this is okay and a welcomed thing. It is not a goal so don't be concerned if it doesn't happen. If it does, throw it in the positive column and move on. If it doesn't throw it in the positive column and move on. What happens from start to end is part of the practice – allow it without judgment.
