Meditation, Stability, Clarity: Experiencing the Liberating Power of Full Attention

D4S3 - Vase Breathing, and What You Bring to the Practice

Lama Alan · 159 minutes · recorded June 5, 2025

Lama Alan teaches the gentle vase breathing that accompanies settling the mind in its natural state, then reframes the practice around a different question: not how the session went, but what you brought to it. A guided meditation follows, alongside an account of the vivid, strange experiences, nyam, that can arise as the mind settles. He closes with the point that nothing arising in the mind, thought, memory or image, can actually harm you.
