Allowing is effortless, but it takes effort to not allow this moment. For this moment is already present, already perfectly what it is. In the vastness of your own heart even resistance is allowed. 

Allowing this moment to be what it is

So who are you? You are not objects out there, you are not feelings, you are not thoughts - you are effortlessly aware of all those, so you are not those. Who or what are you? 
You have feelings, but you are  not those feelings. Who are you?  But then people usually make a big mistake. They think that if they rest in the Witness, they are going to see something or feel something - something really neat and special. But you won't see anything. If you see something, that is just another object - another feeling, another thought, another sensation, another image. But those are all objects; those are what you are not.

For Western Meditators it is important to bring awareness back to the body, to shift form disembodiment to embodiment. Otherwise your practice just stays in the head and has little impact on how you live your life. Stephan Pende talks on the importance of embodiment and leads a meditation. 

Back To The Body

Gratefulness is a felt sense of wonder, thankfulness, and appreciation for life. Emerging research has recently started to draw attention to its multiple benefits.  People who are  grateful have been found to be relatively happier, more energetic, and more hopeful and to report experiencing more frequent positive emotions. Stephan Pende guides you into a gratefulness meditation using a simple mantra.

This guided meditation is an invitation for you to experience deep relaxation, to find peace in doing nothing. Just tune in to the incredible feeling of stillness within you.
Within the movements of your thoughts, there is a still point. A point that is completely still  and which has nothing to do with whatever is happening around you. Becoming aware of this  ever present peace is the ultimate medicine. 

Resting In Natural Peace
