    Can you note what is present for you with caring curiosity? Can you nurture your experience with gentle awareness? Sean Fargo guides this short mindfulness meditation on settling into this present moment and meeting whatever you notice with care.

    A note from Sean

    The curiosity matters, because no one really knows how an experience will unfold. The minute we think we know is usually the minute we stop being present. So a beginner’s mind matters to me.

    Try this today. Stop for one minute. Feel your feet and the weight of your body. Ask, what is here right now? Don’t answer too fast. Wait and see what shows up first, a sensation, a sound, or a thought, and let it be there.

    Keep going: Breathing With Curiosity and Three Mindful Breaths.

    This suits a busy day and a short break. If something painful shows up, go gently. Stop when you need to.
