The Open Heart-Sky

Sit upright, eyes softly closed. Place your attention in the centre of the chest, the heart-space, and imagine that this inner space has no edges. It is wider than the body, wider than the room, wider than the city outside the window. Whatever feeling or thought passes through is just a small cloud crossing this open inner sky. The cloud may be heavy or light, no matter. The sky behind it never changes. Sit as the sky, and let the heart hold whatever weather is moving through today.
