46: Exploring the Breath from the Inside and Out

This guided meditation begins with a 3 step settling process and then explores feelings of exchanging the breath between the interior feeling of alive presence, and the greater world beyond the body, surrounding the body. It contains a balance and exchange between active enjoyment of the breath and surrender to whole world and universe in which the breath takes place.

    Being alive is truly a precious gift. Meditating always brings me closer to appreciating this.

    I think that what’s happening to me over time is that I miss the meditative experience when I don’t take the time for awhile. In other words, I feel crankier or have more tendencies to get depressed. It’s very helpful to listen to something soothing and, as you said in the very beginning of this exercise, to just let everything be what it is. Too often, we’re tearing around trying to fix everything, and it sabotages our sense of well-being, especially when there are more things to fix that you could even fit into a day! So the practice of centering and soothing oneself seems very beneficial to me at this point.

    Thanks again for a sense of clarity.
