Relaxation from Perth
The breath is the bridge between the body and the mind, the most direct experience of being alive.
Notice the breath without trying to change it. This simple awareness is the foundation of presence. Where your attention goes, your energy flows. By anchoring in the breath, you step out of the stream of thought. You are not the thoughts; you are the awareness that perceives them. This space of pure awareness is your true nature. Rest there, as the breath rises and falls on its own.
"Be aware of the breath as it flows in and flows out."
"Just feel it. There is nothing you need to do."
