Devouring the Body

Feel yourself as the luminous loving space-like presence of awareness which illuminates and contains all experience. Allow the felt sense of being aware to extend beyond individual mind and body to encompass everyone and everything. You are a vast, borderless, transparent, luminous field in which experience arises. Let the experience of the body come to your attention – not the idea of the body, but your current, direct experience. If eyes are closed and you're not referring to thoughts, your only experience of body is the current flow of sensation. Without reference to thought, you cannot be sure these sensations are 'of a body' – that's a concept thought adds later. There is just sensation. This sensation has no shape, no size, no age – appearing fresh now. All there is to sensation is the experience of sensing, which is mental activity made of mind, not matter. There is no trauma stuck in sensation – it's pristine, fresh. Feel breathing luminosity, emptiness, love into the sensation. With each inhale, sensation is permeated with luminosity; with each exhale, density disperses, becoming transparent. In tantric tradition, this is 'devouring the body' – awareness devours body until it's felt like a ripple in ocean of awareness. Your body is transparent, luminous, loving, made only of space of awareness – a modulation of awareness.
