Breathing meditation may seem like a simple and specific activity to undertake yet in reality it offers layers of meaning and depth for our exploration. Making mindfulness practice a habit, we build far more than only focus. We influence many varied mental traits through that effort and repetition. We become more resilient, precise in our actions, and feel more at ease. Our practice of mindfulness is a marathon, not a sprint. We aim to influence our daily lives without expecting an instant miracle. We’re not specifically aiming to be relaxed, calm or happy. Instead, with each breath we take, we build valuable traits that change how we live. Attention and awareness. Staying settled when uncomfortable. Proactively managing our habits and assumptions. Compassion, and more. For this class, we will stay with our breathing practice throughout. As the intention of this course is to provide straightforward guidance while exploring your breathing practice, it contains fewer theoretical explanations. It is designed so that you can listen to the sessions daily and begin practicing right away. Each week (or however long you choose) the intention for the practice shifts, exploring different aspects of our meditation and cultivating a broader depth of practice. Listen to each session to set yourself up with the instruction. Then once a day, use either the recording of the session itself or a mindfulness-based breathing practice of your choice to explore the session instructions. Trust yourself. Choose where to put your effort and intention. Reveal your innate resilience and wisdom, one breath at a time.
