Introduction
Richard offers a brief orientation to the series.
Your Original Face
Gaze at your body. Notice how the space above your chest fades to open spaciousness.
Unconditionally Open
See yourself in the space of awareness. Then let go, accepting whatever appears.
Stepping into the Void
Your body is an appearance in the vastness that is aware of all appearances.
The World Is in You
You are not your body. You are not your thoughts. You are consciousness itself.
Perfectly Supported
Feel the weight of your body buoyed in the boundless ocean of awareness.
Undivided Awareness
Dissolve the boundaries between the fields of vision, sound, and physical sensation.
Alone with Everything
A single space contains all that you see and hear—and all that you think and feel.
Weightless
“The whole field of sensation, your whole body—everything—is floating.”
Time Is in You
Explore how your experience of time is itself timeless.
Floating in Awareness
Your entire physical experience is suspended in a sea of consciousness.
Stress-Free Awareness
Notice how changing patterns of tension arise in the unchanging space of awareness.
Space for Problems
Summon a troubling thought—and notice that awareness itself remains untroubled.
Breathing Freely
The breath simply appears, without effort or control, without shape or boundary.
Images of the Imageless
A mirror reflects the world. A projector represents it. Awareness does both at once.
Being What You Are
Your true nature is empty of illusion and ego—and full of clarity and connection.
Mind at Large
You’re not inside your head, but are “the vast openness that contains everything.”
No Dividing Line
Feel the weight of sensation merge with the weightless space in which it occurs.
Creative Void
All experience arises from a source both unknowable and inexhaustibly fertile.
Everything Is Within
“You've got invisible arms that go around the universe, a completely effortless embrace.”
Inside Story
Your essential nature is free of any walls that might separate it from the outside world.
Movement and Stillness
Sounds, sensations, and thoughts arise, change, and pass—all in unchanging awareness.
Not Doing
Emptiness isn’t about rejecting experience, but letting it occur, while remaining at rest.

Experiments in Having No Head
In Experiments in Having No Head, Richard Lang offers various visualizations and exercises to help us further explore the perspective he shared in his previous series, The Headless Way, based on the work of Douglas Harding.
“Everything you’re thinking and feeling,” he says, “is arising in boundless consciousness, which is unaffected: free, open, spacious.”
