Homework
Go outdoors and take a walk. As you move around, open the senses to the sights, sounds, and smells of the environment. Watch how your personal narrative forms around this sense data (my flowers look so good this time of year; I wonder if this runny nose is the beginning of a cold or just allergies…). Work with the phrase, “Add nothing to this experience.” Do not add any thought or conditioned response, not even interpretation; just let each experience be exactly as it is. Relax with each presentation and feel the space that holds the senses and allow presence to arise. Notice that movement still happens but does not seem to come from thought. The intuitive lives within presence but is not derived from the mind and feels like unbounded joy.
