Audio Practice #9
Trizone Awareness (Mind, Heart, Body) [10:35]

Instructions: Sit or lie down in a comfortable position, take a few full breaths, and click play ⏵ on the video or audio above.

​This meditation is called trizone. Here we bring into awareness three embodied centres modeled around the mind/head, heart, and lower body and gut region. By meditating on these three zones of awareness—mind, heart, and body—you are invited to feel some essential qualities of consciousness:
• The mind: open, clear, bright, spacious
• The heart: radiant, connected, present, warm, friendly, benevolent
• The body (belly/torso): deep, calm, mysterious, quiet, wonderous, timeless
As you contemplate awareness around the trizone regions, it can help decentre from thoughts, emotion, and sensations and dissolve for a moment your sense of attachment to a sense of self.
