Primordial Meditation with Object

This method is also very ancient and very simple. Instead of focusing one’s awareness upon the breath, gently rest your mind on an object. You can use any object that has a natural beauty and that uplifts and inspires you. More powerful than this kind of object are sacred objects.

In this method, merely rest your mind upon the chosen object, and let yourself merge with it – it is the same as with breath, but uses an object for focus instead. If you become distracted, restore yourself to the practice.

(Beginning practice of Primordial Meditation with an object requires an external object of focus. However, in advanced practice an internal object or visualization may be used to further develop kavvanah-concentration.)
