Week #4 Recap & Weekly Exploration

This past week has been a challenge for me to bring focus to just this present breath! Was it for you? Sometimes, it's just that way. No matter... the next breath is always available (until it's not) to focus on.

What happens when you focus completely on the sensation of breath? When I focus all my attention on just the sensation of breath and nothing else, there is awareness of that sensation, awareness of other sensations (sounds, smells, bodily sensations, etc.), awareness of thoughts, and something else... there is awareness of the focusing itself. It's not me "being aware of" focusing in awareness (although thought may tell "me' that an instant later). No, it's a direct, aware sensing into the essence of focusing itself... it's awareness of awareness. In your exploration, see if you discover this for yourself, in your own experience.
