Choiceless awareness - Beate - 20 min - EN

In this practice we bring awareness to the sensations in the body and to everything that presents itself in our inner world. Whatever catches our attention will be explored without attachment or resistance. Thoughts, emotions, sensations -those are all like actors in a theatre play or clouds on the sky of awareness. This is a way of cultivating equanimity and inner peace.
