I agree with Michelle I love the anticipatory aspect of this practice. Whenever I can get into a curious state of mind life becomes so much more rich and enjoyable. This was not easy but in the challenge of staying focused on the peripheral I found that any mind chatter stopped and I was focused on the present moment. I also found that when I came out of the Open Vision practice the world around me seemed much more in focus, crisper, more defined.

I tried “surround sound” first inside on my couch and then another day outside on my porch. I felt as if arms where coming out of my ears and reaching first to the bird song, then to lawn mowers, to the highway and then to the inaudible. That listening or reaching with my ears gave me a pleasurable sensation of focus and a way to become present by listening past what could be heard. I also felt like I was out of body in a way as I listened for what was behind me and underneath me I began to visualize as well as listen.
