Gently explore the sensory world inside and all around you. This is a wonderful practice to shift into a relaxed-yet-awake state, to center and ground you in the present moment, and to bring you closer to your embodied experience. Each sense can also be meditated upon individually, as a mini-meditation or a full practice.
All around you, in every moment,
The world is offering a feast for your senses.
Songs are playing,
Tasty food is on the table,
Fragrances are in the air,
Colors fill the eyes with light.
You who long for union,
Attend this banquet with loving focus.
The outer and inner worlds
Open to each other.
Oneness of vision, oneness of heart.
Right here, in the midst of it all,
Mount that elation, ascend with it,
Become identical
With the ecstatic essence
Embracing both worlds.
—Radiance Sutras 50
