Open Awareness vs. Aperture Awareness — What’s the Difference?

In this short teaching, I explore the difference between open awareness and opening the aperture of awareness—two simple but powerful ways to practice presence. One is about letting attention rest in itself. The other is about sensing everything at once, as one unified field. Both can lead to deep insight and help you come home to yourself. 💭 Want to explore this more deeply? I offer a 5-day course called The Gentle Trail to Presence, designed for those ready to stop striving and start listening. 👉 https://gentletrail.com And if you want to go further, I guide a small number of people each season through a one-on-one journey called The Midlife Myth Reset.

I’m a certified mindfulness teacher, and I create these videos to support anyone seeking clarity, presence, and connection with their true nature. While the practices and reflections I share are intended to inspire and guide your journey, they are not a substitute for therapy, medical care, or professional advice. The insights and meditations offered here can bring about profound shifts in how you experience yourself and the world. If you’re currently navigating a mental health challenge or feel overwhelmed, please prioritize your well-being and reach out to a licensed therapist, counselor, or trusted resource for support. If you’re in crisis or at risk of harming yourself or others, contacting a suicide hotline, a trusted professional, or emergency services is the best step to take right now. These teachings are a gentle invitation to explore your inner world, not a prescription for how to live. Take what resonates, move at your own pace, and always approach this work with kindness toward yourself. Wishing you peace on your journey. 💛 Erik
