This guided meditation invites you to return to your original mind—before thought, before memory, before identity.

You’ll be guided through a deep breathing technique to align the mind, heart, and body, followed by a powerful visualization that leads to the direct experience of pure awareness—the boundless presence that exists before all thoughts arise.

Whether you're new to meditation or deep in your Zen practice, this video is a gateway to the unconditioned nature of mind.

First steps into Buddhist meditation.
Awareness is the key. But what does the word mean to you? To most people, perhaps, it denotes an acknowledgement of that which is going on around them in a general sort of way.

Insights into Thinking.
We suffer, we are stuck in some kind of pain, mostly mental — mental torment, mental pain.

Insights into Thinking.
When we recognise the impact, the consequences, of this constant and out-of-control train of thoughts-emotions-thoughts-emotions, when we recognise the proliferation, and when we start to realise that the more we feed this flow, this behaviour, the less tractable we become, then we begin to wake up to something of value.
