In this live recorded practise, mindfulness teacher Anne Muhlethaler starts with an inquiry around intention: what is our deep reason for meditating, for practising?
Then we are led through a mindfulness of breath practise where the focus is not just to watch the movements of the breath, but to use it to help us through the challenges of meditation.
Learning to move the dial of the breath up and down — so that when we feel dull and need to feel energised, the breath comes in to refresh us; or when we feel anxious, excited, scattered, and we seek to calm our nervous system and settle down, — can help us collect ourselves and be the anchor that helps us stay more present in the moment.
