Q & A with Enza Vita, author of Always Already Free – Recognizing the natural wakefulness that you were born with

• Q: I know from other meditation practices I have tried that my mind is out of control, will the Practice of Presence you recommend help me with that?

• ENZA: There are three qualities of being that can help cut involvement with thoughts and emotions:

• Keep your senses wide open, not focused on anything in particular, but allowing all sensation in.

• Have a loose relaxed attitude about keeping what you have recognized, simply allowing it; and

• Keep a bright and sharp presence of mind.

•  

• If you feel yourself becoming rigid and grasping, open up the senses even further, soften your gaze and relax more deeply. Allow more looseness in, which feels like allowing space or water into your being and becoming saturated with it.

• If you feel yourself becoming spacey and dull, then sharpen the mind, straighten up the body, breathe deeper, and sharpen your gaze as if trying to pierce something but without really focusing on any object.

• The trick is not to focus your attention on anything, outer or inner, and not to place your attention on anything in-between. What this means is a big full stop.
