Sit With Me: Meditation on Space, Sensation, and Soft Attention

Hey everyone, it’s Dominic. In this episode of Sit, Walk, Work, I guide you through a meditation on one of my favorite themes: space—the space between breaths, between thoughts, and between transitions in life. This isn’t just about stillness—it’s about awareness, compassion, and the power of beginning again. Together, we explore the physical sensations in our bodies, the origin of breath, and what happens when we hold our attention with softness. Whether new to meditation or deep in your practice, this 30-minute session offers a grounded, heart-centered journey into presence, joy, and equanimity. Let’s sit together in the gift of space.⏱️ Timestamps & Episode Breakdown* 00:00–00:50 – Welcome and intro to today’s practice* 00:51–03:35 – Recap and key themes: “the space between”* 03:36–05:21 – Getting physically settled* 05:22–09:16 – Taking inventory: body, mind, and mood* 09:17–12:45 – Exploring space in breath, body, and attention* 12:46–16:05 – Noticing transitions in thoughts and sensations* 16:06–20:59 – Anchoring attention in the breath* 21:00–24:53 – Starting over: the gift of new beginnings* 24:54–27:22 – Exploring sensations and the changing body* 27:23–31:42 – Cultivating gratitude and joy in the heart space* 31:43–33:07 – Sending love outward—to others and yourself* 33:08–34:43 – Ajahn Chah on space as a gift & closing thoughtsKnow someone who could benefit from this practice?Share Your ThoughtsWhat kind of space are you craving right now—in your body, schedule, or mind?Did you notice anything new about the way your breath or thoughts move during the practice?Follow me on all the socials* Substack* Website* Instagram* Facebook* YouTubeGot questions about meditation?
