Surrender Contraction to Awareness

A man shares that although he feels a clear sense of pure being, his experience often shifts to contraction and bodily pain. He reflects on how a newborn infant experiences contraction without resistance. Rupert explains that the infant’s primary experience is open, uncontracted being, and that while the man’s contraction may feel familiar, it is not his natural condition; rather, it is something learned and practised. He suggests not trying to ‘un-contract’, as that would add another layer of tension, but to surrender the contraction to the space of awareness where it will gradually soften.
