Drinking In Consciousness

Swimming In Awareness

Often it is helpful to use metaphors to describe the process of awakening and awareness.

One way is to use the metaphor of drinking in consciousness.

A beginner in meditation will struggle to break free of the influence of the mind and their emotions.

Their attention will be on them and not on the silence beyond them.

To focus on the silence is to break free of mind and emotions.

Your attention shifts away from them and into vast silence.
