You will stay with this Workbook lesson for three days in order to learn how to meditate by focusing on awareness. “Light” and “awareness” are synonymous, so “God is the light in which I see” also means “God is the awareness in which I see.”

Please read the workbook lesson in full each of the three days that we practice this lesson. Each day, you will meditate three times during the day for 3-5 minutes each time. If you are comfortable meditating longer, you can meditate longer. However, avoid introducing strain or a sense of self-competition. It’s more helpful if the meditation is relaxing.

Here is the form of meditation to use as you practice Lesson 44:

1. Begin each meditation period by repeating the lesson to yourself with your eyes open. Notice that you are aware your eyes are open. Notice you are aware that you are repeating the workbook lesson to yourself.
2. Close your eyes and repeat the workbook lessons several more times. Notice that you are aware your eyes are closed. Notice that you are aware you are repeating the workbook lesson to yourself.
3. Let go of repeating the workbook lesson. Notice you are aware the workbook lesson is no longer being repeated.
4. Keep attention with awareness. Be aware that you are aware. Notice that regardless of what you hear, feel or think, awareness is present.
5. Continue to keep attention with awareness. Simply remain aware that you are aware for the remainder of the practice session.

If you want to, watch this optional 29-minute video, Introduction to Awareness Watching Awareness.

Note: Although we are staying with Lesson 44 for three days, you will have a new tip tomorrow.
