Question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you mean when you say, \u201cIt\u2019s time to bring your awareness back into our body\u201d?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought we were supposed to be concentrating on the breath.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t that in the body?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am relatively new at meditation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please tell me where my awareness is supposed to be during meditation. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bringing awareness from the state of meditation to a sensation in the body is bringing attention from the abstract, quiet level back to a focused, more active level where it is ready to resume the practical needs of daily life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if we use effortless attention on the breath as a tool of meditation, it still serves to allow awareness to settle down and become unbounded and abstract.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we end meditation, it is important to let awareness gently readjust to focused awareness and physical activity before we get up from meditation and resume our day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Otherwise, if we come out too fast, we may feel a bit rough or irritable after meditation.<\/span><\/p>\n
