In most meditation traditions, we close our eyes and draw our senses inward.*
This slows the outward going tendencies of the mind and turns the amazing power and light of our awareness inward.
Attention to breath, we begin to grow quieter and explore.
Unlike a deep sea diver, we need no special equipment. We are already suited-up and equipped to explore this inner world.
*This withdrawal of the senses and turning inward is the yoga practice of pratyahara as described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras.
