Learn a simple approach to discovering deep Peace through music practice in this brief talk by saxophonist Prasant Radhakrishnan.

Overview: Intro: You can realize your own nature of Peace, pure Awareness, with or without music, but it’s easier with Music! Practicing music or a successful career in music without this key understanding will not result in permanent fulfillment and freedom from confusion. Luckily, this approach is very simple.

Step 1: Play or sing a sound. Listen to the sound when you play by simply relaxing and witnessing naturally.

Step 2: Play a second time. Enjoy and FEEL the sound filling up your entire field of experience so there is the feeling that there is only sound encompassing and enveloping all.

Step 3: Play a third time. While retaining the feeling from step 2, begin to notice what is aware of this. What is the Source of this experience? You will feel a natural awareness come forward. Recognizing this Awareness as your identity, more real than arising thoughts and experiences, rest in the Awareness.

Once you have discovered this simple and natural Awareness/Presence, you can notice that it is there all the time and there is nothing special you have to do to get it. Simply return this Awareness and allow your attention to turn away from clinging to the arising experience. This habit of clinging with attention will also dissolve in Awareness and you will recognize no separation between you and any experience in this perfect Ocean of Pure Awareness.
