This meditation focuses on the practice of Cittanupassanā. Instead of focusing on your breath, you will be treating your mind like a vast sky and your thoughts or moods like passing weather.

Settling In.

Find a comfortable seat. Close your eyes or keep a soft gaze on the floor. Take three deep breaths, exhaling slowly to release tension from your shoulders and jaw.

For this first minute, let your awareness rest briefly on the sensation of your body touching the chair. Feel the weight of your hands. Establish yourself as the "Observer"—the silent witness who is simply here to watch, not to interfere.

Identifying the "Color" of the Mind.

Now, shift your attention away from the body and toward your mental space. Ask yourself internally: "What is the state of my mind right now?"

Don't look for specific thoughts; look for the quality of the mind.

• Is the mind restless, jumping from one thing to another?
• Is it sluggish or heavy, feeling a bit foggy?
• Is it narrow, hyper-focused on a worry? Or is it spacious and relaxed?

As you identify a state, label it gently. If the mind feels busy, whisper internally: "Busy mind, busy mind." If it feels calm, note: "Quiet mind, quiet mind." Observe the state without trying to change it. If you find yourself judging your mind, simply note: "Judging mind."

Watching the Coming and Going.

Pick one mental state or "mood" that is present right now. Watch it closely. Notice how it isn't a solid block; it’s a vibrating, changing energy.

Watch how a thought arises from the silence, stays for a few seconds, and then dissolves back into the background. Realize that you are the space in which these thoughts move. You are the sky; the thoughts are just clouds. The sky is never stained by the clouds that pass through it.

Non-Attachment and Presence.

In this final minute, let go of even the labeling. Just sit with the "knowing" faculty itself. Experience the mind as a mirror—it reflects whatever passes in front of it (a sound, a memory, a feeling) but it doesn't grab onto any of it.

If a "greedy" mind arises (wanting the meditation to be over), just see it. If a "peaceful" mind arises, just see it. Remain the neutral observer.

When you are ready, take one final deep breath, feel the physical sensations of the room around you, and slowly open your eyes.
