The concept of a container in meditation refers to the space in which awareness of the meditation object—such as the breath—is held. This container can vary in size, from focusing narrowly on the nostrils and upper lip to encompassing the entire body or even the surrounding air. The amount of awareness within this container also fluctuates, ranging from minimal presence to full absorption in meditation.An analogy illustrates this idea: A teaspoon of salt in a glass of water is strong, whereas in a large lake, it becomes imperceptible. Similarly, sometimes a larger mental container is needed for spacious awareness, while other times, a more concentrated focus is beneficial. The key is adjusting the container to suit the depth and quality of meditation.Want to be a guest on Inner Skilled?
