Back to the breath

Some meditation practices focus on the breath. That something different happens when you pay careful attention to a breath-in, and a breath-out. When you bring mindfulness to the act of respiration.

And yet ... we breathe all day. Constantly. So what changes in this kind of meditation?

It’s the paying attention. The noticing. The intention.

It turns out, when we bring attention to something ... when we allow ourselves the time be still and to observe ... the ordinary can become extraordinary. In those quiet moments, even something that has been happening all along can be transformed into a powerful act of restoration.

And it all starts with slowing down, and paying attention to what’s already happening.
