The Flame & The Void

Description:
This session introduces the practice of 'The Flame & The Void'. Initially introduced through Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, this is a simple alternative approach to mindfulness that offers beginners immediate calm and focus.
Goal:
To attain mindfulness: the awareness that arises from purposefully paying non-judgemental attention to the present moment.
Summary:
Visualise a flame (object of meditation).
Feed it all emotions, thought, and sensation.
When there is nothing left, release the flame.
Embrace the void (present moment/mindfulness/self) that remains.
If needed, begin again.
Progression:
With the in-breath, scan the body and mind and draw in all stimulus. With the out-breath, release it all into the flame.

You can find 100’s more tracks, talks, and full courses on the Insight Timer app, and in The Art Of Self-Connection community.
