Just setting aside any desire, setting aside any discontent for the world as we just arrive into this space. Following the Buddha's basic instructions of breathing in, knowing that you're breathing in, and breathing out, knowing that you're breathing in and breathing out, knowing that you're breathing out, moving past the conceptual mind into the bare experience of sensation.
Ever feel like life’s constant buzz is too much to handle? Justin Otto's 'Dharma Junkie' offers a soothing escape with a guided meditation focused on the mindfulness of breathing. Recorded at Empathic Practice, this episode begins with a brief check-in to help everyone in the room ground themselves. Justin’s calming voice gently leads listeners to bring their attention to the present moment, shedding stress, future plans, and past regrets like an old coat.
You’ll be guided through relaxing your body and softening your muscles, setting the stage for a deep dive into breath awareness. The focal point? The simple sensation of breath moving over the entrance of the upper lip. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes the most profound experiences come from the simplest acts. And if your mind wanders, don't worry. Justin emphasizes there’s no right or wrong way to practice. It’s all about being patient and non-judgmental with yourself.
The episode wraps up with the ringing of a bell and a heartfelt thank you, leaving you feeling more centered and present. Perfect for anyone needing a break from life’s chaos or wanting to dip their toes into meditation.
