Meditation Tip: Be the Passenger

[Beginner Mind]

I want to share a nice meditation tip I heard from Adyashanti.

Imagine that you are in the passenger's seat in a car.  How would you behave?  You wouldn't be steering the vehicle, you wouldn't be doing anything at all.  You would just be sitting back and going along for the ride, right?  Well, you can approach your meditation in exactly the same way.  Let go of control, let go of the meditator.  Be the passenger of your meditation.

This is the experience of allowing everything to be as it is, and the simple path to peace.

That's a good one. Similar to the familiar analogy of being in the audience.

@No Self I hadn't heard that one before but yes that sounds similar.

? I also like watching the movie alone, in the darkness of the theater, from the very back seat.
