The Sea of Tranquility

A deep mindfulness meditation.

 

I have likened this latest practice to the deep ocean.  I have called it the sea of tranquillity.

The Sea of Tranquility is actually a part of the moon and was once thought by early astronomers to be an ocean. It appears dark when viewed from Earth, smooth and relatively flat. The Sea of Tranquility was the landing site of Apollo 11, the mission during which Neil Armstrong made mankind's first ever walk on the Moon, so it also has relevance for this meditation; just like Neil Armstrong, we are in meditation often venturing into strange and far off lands within us.

I also love the word tranquillity, the word has a beautiful sense of stillness that is useful as a reflection during meditation.
