Just take a moment to observe your thoughts. Notice that there is a gap between them .it lasts for few seconds between each thought and the next one. . There’s a space, a gap between this thought, and the arising of the next thought. With time and practice, we realize that the space, the gaps, are much bigger than we ever imagined. At first, we experience them as short breaks between thoughts. But as we pay attention, the gaps become bigger and bigger until we see that the entire background of our mind is spacious.it’s a big gap. And all the thoughts that come, however many there may be, cannot obscure the gap. In the beginning of practicing this technique , the act of noticing disrupts the act of being caught up in the moment, in a particular thought. And then we notice the next thought, and there’s a gap, then the next one, and a gap. As we keep doing this, as we keep practicing, the mind gaps keep growing. As they become larger and larger, we feel more and more relaxed. We start to have the sense that the gaps are actually much truer, much more real, than all the superficial little thoughts that bubble up and can seem so important. So the gap starts small, and as we continue paying attention to the space between thoughts, as we continue minding the gap, our meditation naturally shifts towards awareness. We see how the mind is producing thoughts, and realize that awareness of thoughts doesn’t have to take us away from being present. This is where the meditation becomes more about awareness, where mindfulness becomes awareness. Mindfulness and awareness are not separate: they work together. Each time we’re aware of something..a thought, an object etc..we become more aware of the space around it. Think about it Everything happens in space! This simple technique will show you that you are not your thoughts. That you are consciousness. The gap itself.  And notice how the more you practise this technique and abide as awareness between the thoughts  ..the more you become free from a lot of suffering that is basically constructed by your mental processes. And eventually you can reach enlightenment. Or the recognition of your true nature as pure spacious consciousness. Pure space . If you have any questions..ask away ?
