Deepening opens our awareness to capacities we have overlooked. It's not about climbing a mountain as much as settling into a depth. It's not about conquering a beast as much as about discovering well-being that has been patiently waiting to be seen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePure awareness-that is awareness without content-has a slightly luminous quality. It's a quiet joy we can't hold or even adequately describe. All we can do is surrender into it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDoug Kraft mentors meditators around the world.
