(#127) How to Practice Breath Awareness (perfectly)

Yesterday, we learned that breath is presence.  So how do we use this info?  Here’s the simplest practice you can do anytime, anywhere.  Use it once or twice today and notice how it shifts your mind and body for the better:

 

“At this very moment, whether you know it or not, each breath happens right here and right now. Little by little the question becomes, Are you intimate with this breath just as it is? Intimate, meaning not separate but fully experiencing whatever you experience as the breath fills up the lungs and empties in this particular posture at this time in this place.

 

When the mind gets caught up in its productions, can you return to the body and the breathing? Wherever you feel those breath sensations at any moment, your practice is perfect.
