Everything has come from space and stays in space. As we are obsessed with material objects, we do not give value to space. Emptiness is eternal, material objects are not. Emptiness is in the core of things and in the core of our mind. Mind and matter are interconnected, body and mind are interconnected. Our mind can think of material objects, but what about space? Well, mind cannot think about space, it dissolves in space. Space is here, space is in the NOW. When we see things we miss the space in which the things are present. When we hear sounds, we miss the space – the pauses that occur between the sounds. And once we get attuned to this space, then this space comes to us. And silence dawns upon us, on our mind which is always worried and in anguish.

Sacred Space Meditation is a delicate and sensitive technique in which the focus is on listening. You listen to the sound waves, listen to the pauses in between two sounds. Gradually, as our attention rises, we are able to watch the thoughts and the spaces in between thoughts. As we get closer to space, a wonderful experience happens of deep relaxation and higher awareness.

Those who wish to raise their consciousness must do this technique. This will give a clear picture of whether one’s spiritual awareness is high or shallow. As the technique is subtle and deep, one should be very alert.

In this technique, sounds of Tibetan bells, singing bowls and gong are used.
