Open Awareness

Part of the Awareness Wheel

What is Open Awareness?

Expanding attention to include everything at once — sounds, sensations, thoughts, space itself — without focusing on any single object. Open awareness is restful, receptive, and naturally peaceful. It is the mind's natural state when effort relaxes.

When you might feel open awareness

Open Awareness is a specific form of spaciousness, which itself is a type of consciousness. You might experience this feeling in situations where consciousness is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define open awareness.
