Multi-Sensory Meditation
By Randy Salars·
Short Answer
Meditate by noticing the interplay of sound, smell, touch, and sight in your environment. Instead of narrowing to one object, you hold a wider field.
A Simple Protocol (5–12 minutes)
- Sit comfortably. Set a timer for 8 minutes.
- Spend 60 seconds focusing on sound only.
- Spend 60 seconds focusing on touch only (contact points).
- Spend 60 seconds focusing on smell/air taste only.
- Spend 60 seconds focusing on sight only (soft gaze).
- For the remaining time, hold all channels together as one field.
Common Pitfalls
- Trying to concentrate too hard (creates tension). Keep it soft.
- Turning sensations into stories instead of noticing them.
- Letting one channel dominate every time—rotate intentionally.
