Gil Fronsdal leads an Anapanasati Exploring the Breath. What is your relationship with your breathing? Very broadly, is it a positive, negative or neutral one?
Do you find it a hassle or troublesome?
Is the experience of your body breathing, something that is distant from yourself? Is your breathing closer to who you are? Are you close to breathing or far away from it?
Is breathing something that you enjoy or something you put up with?
What is your relationship to practicing mindfulness of breathing? Is it a welcoming practice you appreciate doing? Or is it like work, unwanted work, a duty?
When you’re practicing mindfulness of breathing, do you do it with enthusiasm or with hesitation, reluctance?
Consider, explore your relationship with your breathing, in all facets that might be. What are the attitudes you have with your breathing?
