Short Silences is a contemplative series on the wisdom of awakening.
Ten-minute meditation to uncover the stillness and spaciousness of your Being. This spacious quality is synonymous with the natural state. When we inquire inwards, there is an edgeless-ness, a centreless-ness and a vast expanse to the nature of awareness. In our daily lives, we become, more often than not, contracted into experience.

"As the sun gives light to the moon, even so, this Heart gives light to the mind."
Chapter 5 - The Science of the Heart from the Sri Ramana Gita.
