The recording begins with an 8-minute mini-practice, guiding us to move quickly and efficiently into meditation— dropping right into awareness. The mini-practice is followed by a pause during which the recording may be turned off. Then it backtracks and offers a “technique,” a series of inquiries that can be used if the mind is busy or if attention is distracted, of exploring physical tension patterns, sensing difficult emotions and challenging thoughts, all with dispassionate attentiveness.
