The Simplest Experience There Is

Tuesday 23 May 2023

Deep Sleep and Non-Meditation

A man asks for clarity around the relationship between sleep and non-meditation. Rupert reviews how when senses, perceptions, thoughts and images leave us, we are left with the awareness of being. The awareness of being is not something we do; it is what we are. We don't have to practise being. In that sense, ‘non-meditation’ is used to evoke this absolute effortlessness, like deep sleep.
