How to do an Expansion of Conscious Awareness meditation:
1) start in a comfortable seated upright position (or lying down if that feels better)
2) close your eyes, inhale through the nose for a count of 5, hold for a moment, exhale for more than 5, hold, repeat several times
3) begin a body scan, either starting from your head and going to your toes, or going from your toes to your head. go slowly over each area, just bringing conscious awareness there without trying to change anything. repeat several times, going in the opposite direction after each pass.
4) feel the space around you and start to bring your awareness outwards to your immediate environment. the chair you’re seated on, your feet on the floor. feel the points of contact.
5) start to expand that awareness outwards even more. Imagine a bubble expanding outwards to fill the space that you’re in. feel the objects of the room in your conscious awareness as you expand your attention.
6) expand until your awareness fills and feels the whole space around you (if you’re outside, just go as far as you feel comfortable)
7) slowly bring the awareness back in towards you, then repeat the expansion again and continue bringing the awareness out and back in
