You might listen to this in headphones in a lossless format.

This tambrel meditation technique was pioneered by a man named Don Wasserman, and I had the honor to learn directly from Don. He would use acoustic sounds to guide the sensation of the meditation. I have expanded to the synthesizer, so I'll be at my keyboard to help guide these sensations.

Let's start with the face. This is a very busy part of our body. This is mission control. A lot of senses meet at this nexus, and there's quite a bit of activity. There's a constant chatter in this region, constant computation, and it's very loud. But you may not notice it, like a refrigerator that's running and suddenly shuts off.

That quiet chatter is constantly happening. And it's good. This is how we decide, how we go about our day. But it is important to have some control over this chatter. For example, let's gently roll some of the high end off this chatter. It's important to examine this chatter. These are your thoughts. They say the unexamined life is not worth living. Well the unexamined thoughts, it's not worth thinking.

You might move these thoughts forward from behind your eyes and mind, just a few feet in front of you, and just, just look at them. See what, see what they're up to. See what they're saying. After all, they're your thoughts. You might notice the thoughts gently orbiting around your head. Until they're a few feet in back of your head and they gently fade away, this chatter. And you're left just experiencing what is currently happening.

I like to think of a dog meditating. A deep inhale. Release. Sense a smile spreading through the eyes.

And with a gentle listening and receptivity, aware of the ass. This is a chance to check in. I studied with a great teacher who would refer to this as the "ha-ha region". Listening to and feeling whatever mood is here, without judgement, an honest contact. Much like the chatter, we're unaware of our ass most of the day. You might add in an ambience around your ass. Experience this new space. Feel this new sense of freedom to exist with, with ya ass.
