Sutra 16, The Radiance Sutras

December 21, 2022 Adele Satori

Sutra 16

The roar of joy that set the worlds in motion

Is reverberating in your body

And the space between all bodies

Beloved, Listen.

Find that exuberant vibration

Rising new in every moment,

Humming in your secret places,

Resounding through the channels of delight,

Know you are flooded by it always.

Float with the sound.

Melt with it into divine silence.

The sacred power of space will carry ou

Into the dancing radiant emptiness that is the source of all.

The ocean of sound is inviting you

Into its spacious embrace,

Calling you home.
“The Radiance Sutras”, Lorin Roche, PhD

This is an example of what a meditative exploration of the sense of hearing can be like.

What opens up for you when you take a few minutes to devote your attention to the sense of hearing in the way you experience it?

Sensory Meditation: Sight

November 28, 2022 Adele Satori

Here is an idea of how you might approach a meditation on the sense of sight. Take your time as you explore.

This is a great practice to cultivate if you spend a lot of time working with close vision, such as computer work.

If your sense of vision is impaired, I offer a possible alternative for the experience. If there is a better approach for impaired vision, I’d love to learn about it.

The Texture of Light

November 1, 2022 Adele Satori

This morning on my walk suddenly came to me the phrase “the texture of light”… hmmm.. ok.. that seems a bit vague, and intriguing. I’ve just gotten used to the concept of the texture of breath, so let’s explore the texture of light as I walk. Mostly I let my body feel the idea of “light” as I walked, and then came home sat with “the texture of light”. And all my senses came out to play.

How a sunny day can feel like plunging my hand into honey, or a pocket lines in something fuzzy and soft. The laughter of butterflies. Exuberance. The smell of a puppy’s head, or chamomile in summer fields. Bright light can reveal, invite growth, and it can be searing, desiccating and deadly. It can sound like trumpets, or a party.

Light bouncing off water- dancing on a wall and feeling like cold rippled glass. The shimmering of chimes.

Shadows like voluptuous velvet, or digging my toes into crumbling dirt. A deep and distant hum.

Cool light like the tickle of mist or snowflakes. If I stand still with ears and heart open, I can hear the mist settling on my skin.

Moonlight- mystery, magic, connection, and cycles. Coldness. Sorrow.

Candles and firelight invite me inward. Into story time, coziness and sleep.

Considering something from outside its usual perspective or sense can not only enrich experience with something, in this case light, but can also serve to spark creative thinking in other ways.

What in your world might you explore with this approach? What fresh insights did you gain?

I can’t wait to explore more this idea of the texture of light.
