Embodied Awareness of Breath, A Meditati...

Sean Fargo
About this episode

When you bring mindfulness to the breath, do you include the entirety of your body, incorporating all your senses? Mindfulness of breathing is not merely a cognitive process, one that takes place in the head.

In this guided meditation, Sean Fargo, founder of Mindfulness Exercises, invites us to observe our breathing using the body itself. Embodying awareness in this experiential manner connects us to the here and now, the only place where genuine happiness and contentment exists.  

Please listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction. Practice with eyes opened or closed, in a posture that balances comfort with alertness. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey.

Sean Fargo is a former Buddhist monk and founder of the online resource, Mindfulness Exercises.
