We Are Drowning In Resistance: A Guided Meditation on Breath and Awareness

In the current episode of Sit, Walk, Work, I guide you through a meditation centered on embracing resistance with kindness and curiosity. The world's climate is such that we encounter resistance at every turn. In this practice we explore the natural flow of the breath, the subtle pauses between inhales and exhales, and how shifting perspectives can transform our practice. Through the lens of a simple yet profound story, we reflect on how our approach to mental resistance shapes our experience. The episode concludes with a gratitude practice, helping you anchor into the present with a renewed sense of awareness.Time Stamp Breakdown:* 00:00 - 00:22: Introduction and welcome to Sit, Walk, Work.* 00:23 - 01:05: Overview of the episode structure and invitation to share the podcast.* 01:06 - 02:24: Bruce Lee story about resistance and setting the tone for the meditation.* 02:25 - 05:01: Beginning the practice: settling in, observing the breath.* 05:02 - 06:18: Bruce Lee story on resistance, illustrating the meditation theme.* 06:19 - 14:39: Breath awareness practice, exploring the natural rhythm and pauses.* 14:40 - 22:02: Expanding awareness to body sensations and shifting perspectives.* 22:03 - 27:32: Navigating resistance with curiosity and softening attention.* 27:33 - 30:37: Gratitude practice and concluding the meditation.* 30:38 - 31:37: Closing remarks and invitation to join the Substack community.Follow me on all the socials* Substack* Website* Instagram* Facebook* YouTube This is a public episode.
