Be present inside the body. Awareness exists in the body at a level deeper than thought or emotions. Notice the feeling of spaciousness, rest in the feeling of presence. Use the breath to feel everywhere inside the body, in the belly, in the chest, the head, the whole trunk, arms and legs.
Notice there is really nowhere inside that is other than awareness. You may not feel this at first,
that's natural, feel those areas that are not conscious and gently breath into them.
Thoughts come and go, that is their nature, just let them, don't try to hold onto thoughts or prevent them somehow.
Can you feel how vast the space is inside? Just breathing into internal space feels boundless, like you could breath everywhere. As you are resting in awareness, notice you are that. There is really nothing else there but empty awareness.
You may even begin to feel or notice this emptiness/awareness extends beyond the phyiscal body. It has been said "you are not in your body, your body is in you". That is true, just be aware of that. It is an illusion that space is other than or external to oneself. Space is just as much right here as it is out there somewhere.
The space inside the body is the same as the space outside the body.
The space inside the room is the same as the space outside the room.
The space inside the world is the same as the space outside the world.
