Nondual Meditations at The Alembic by Michael Taft

nondual stillness Being the StillnessPresented: June 13, 2024 - Then, notice the room around you, the sights, the sounds, everything. That's a lot of movement and color, and is that really separate from awareness? Is it like awareness is aware of that from some other place that it's looking from? Or is all the movement of the world around… Read More »Being the Stillness
Vipashyana Stack The Vipashyana StackPresented: June 6, 2024 - Good. Now, look at the mirror. What is this mirror of vivid experience? Look at it. Let the mirror of vivid experience see itself, not as some kind of imagination, which is just a thought. We're letting go of thought. Just let it see itself. There's nothing to see, and… Read More »The Vipashyana Stack
Flow Relax into Mental FlowPresented: May 2, 2024 - In this vast, open, spacious awareness, the flow of thought activity is actually just a very, very, tiny part of it. That's why we're not really narrowly focusing on that–it's just one of the things happening in this wide open space, and all we're doing is not getting caught in… Read More »Relax into Mental Flow
Nondual Awakeness You Are Effortless Boundless AwakenessPresented: April 4, 2024 - So, if that awake space, that Gnostic, boundlessness, is apparent, then come to an even deeper sense of presence in that. It's not a thought, it's not a feeling, it's not a sight or a sound, it's not a special experience. It's just the space of experience itself, the awake… Read More »You Are Effortless Boundless Awakeness
Radiantly Awake Space of LovePresented: February 29, 2024 - Can you notice, as you sit in simple presence, that the room is part of that simple presence—it's not somehow separate. And that every conscious being in this room is part of that simple presence, they are not really separate on that level. You can just directly notice it, so… Read More »Radiantly Awake Space of Love
Nondual thoughts Dissolve All Thought in SpacePresented: December 23, 2023 - Notice how really, really, wide open things are. If you're engaged with machinery of thought, you’re way stuck down inside your mind, but, when you disengage and just come into being, it's really broad, it's really open, it's really relaxed, and free. What's it like when you step outside thought?… Read More »Dissolve All Thought in Space
Outside the Mind Meditate Outside the MindPresented: December 8, 2023 - I want you to look with a lot of curiosity, a lot of openness, and just see if you can notice exactly where that's coming from. Where is the stream of thoughts arising from? Where is it arising, just in your own experience. This isn't something you can figure out,… Read More »Meditate Outside the Mind
Sorrows Resource for All the World’s SorrowsPresented: November 17, 2023 - Tuning into this spaciousness that's available, not only is it primordially pure, fresh and clean, notice that it is welcoming. It doesn't say no to anything. It has this tremendous quality of welcoming whatever arises, whatever is there. The space says hello, yes, welcome, to everything. It's fundamentally warm and… Read More »Resource for All the World’s Sorrows
nondual spaciousness Being Effulgent SpaciousnessPresented: November 2, 2023 - Now, without engaging ideas at all, and noticing this wide open wide awake spacious, boundaryless, vibratory body and mind. Just notice directly what you notice when I ask you to ask yourself the question, what separates me from anybody else? Notice how that sense of wide openness welcomes everything, welcomes … Read More »Being Effulgent Spaciousness
nondual meditation The Simplest ThingPresented: October 27, 2023 - When we're caught up in thinking, it's like we've put ourselves in a cage. The minute you drop engagement with the thought. Again, the thoughts can still happen, we're not stopping, we're dropping the engagement. The minute you drop the thought, you're out of the cage!  Read More »The Simplest Thing
