DESCRIPTION
True awareness is a state of pure witnessing, without the least attempt to do anything about the event witnessed. Your thoughts and feelings, words and actions may also be a part of the event; you watch all unconcerned in the full light of clarity and understanding. You understand precisely what is going on, because it does not affect you. It may seem to be an attitude of cold aloofness, but it is not really so. Once you are in it, you will find that you love what you see, whatever may be its nature. This choiceless love is the touchstone of awareness. If it is not there, you are merely interested for some personal reasons.
— Nisargadatta Maharaj
The ability to watch conditioned mind without identifying with its contents is a skill we develop through a practice of Awareness. As our sitting practice deepens, we find ourselves resting increasingly in the awareness we term affectionate witnessing.
In this workshop, we explore how sitting practice is the portal to “the love that is the touchstone of Awareness,” and how to deepen our relationship to this love through the techniques of interviewing and R/L.
