Samasati is a term that Buddha used to encourage his disciples to remember to be aware in their daily activities. Samasati means a balanced presence, a centered awareness.

mySamasati was created by a modern-day sannyasin to remind him to bring awareness into his daily life in very simple ways. Subscribers to mySamasati receive an email every day that contains a small awareness meditation.

The homepage of mySamasati contains today's awareness experiment. It's meant to be done in the flow of your day somewhere, a few minutes here and there. And it's only an example, an inspiration. Improvise to fit the moment if necessary. The object of awareness doesn't matter that much. The point is awareness itself, samasati.

If I can be aware of some little thing in my life for only a moment, good. If that moment leads me to another, well, then I'll enjoy a second moment of awareness. Maybe that moment will lead me to a third ... and slowly, awareness will grow in my life. Every time I'm aware, even if it's only for a few moments, it brings a beauty, a joy, a light into my life.
