Resting, Breathing, Loving

One thing leads to another, in our practice as well as in our lives. Sometimes our minds like to divide things up into separate and discrete parts, but when we take 100 steps back we begin to see that everything is connected into a single unified tapestry of life.In this 21-minute guided practice, we begin with deep relaxation. This quiet space leads us toward breath awareness and eventually into the possibility of reshaping our mood by reshaping our breath. Breathing practice - in this session an exploration called “box breathing” - leads us toward the calm of meditation. And then, beautifully, the steadiness and ease of meditation leads us right toward the heart into lovingkindness practice. Call it relaxation, call it breath work, call it meditation. Or, just call it practice. A practice that helps us remember who we are and how we want to live our lives. Get full access to At Home in the World at claudiacummins.substack.com/subscribe
