Trippy Infinite Space Meditation w/ background ambient music

The goal of this meditation is to cultivate a non-dual awareness, undermining the perception of 'inside' and 'outside.' Such meditations can be quite trippy and pleasurable for most, though it can be a bit disorienting, so leave time afterwards to return to a mundane state of mind.

This meditation was recorded at our Dharmapunx NYC 2014 autumn retreat on saturday august 22nd. The hall created a great deal of reverberation and resonant sounds, and the smart phone recording my voice wasn't close enough, so I've masked some of the audio defects with ambient music I created in garageband. The voice at times can drop to a level that's difficult to discern.
