natural awareness

relaxed presence, unfabricated, flowing, just as it is,
at ease, unrestrained, abundant, suffuse 

Resources

Simply relax in the natural state of being; why try to tie knots in the sky?
First tighten loosely, then loosen loosely — hold onto nothing.
Let it go as it goes, and rest at ease as you are.

~ Machik Labdron
