Skin Boundary

Skin Boundary

In this exercise we begin to explore boundaries. This steps into non-dual territory.

  • Close your eyes
  • Take your attention to somewhere central in your body, e.g. your heart
  • Slowly move your attention outwards, checking with each move outwards, “is the sensation here me?”
  • At what point to we stop noticing “me” and start noticing “not me?”
  • Is there a clear sharp boundary between “me” and “not me” that we can find?
  • If we find a clear boundary, check, where is this boundary?
  • Is it a physical distinction, or is it a thought about the bodily sensation?
  • Again, if we find it, keep looking, what makes this distinction?
