    Phillip Moffitt, a teacher at Spirit Rock Meditation Center and the author of Dancing with Life, guides this recording on taking refuge in awareness.

    A note from Sean

    In one guided sit, I put it this way: “We always have access to this place of centeredness. It’s refuge.” We were centering in the body and breathing, and that was the whole practice.

    Try this today. Three times today, pause for one breath. Feel your feet on the floor and your belly moving. That’s all. Notice whether the body settles, even a little, and then carry on with your day.

    Keep going: grounding meditation script and breath awareness meditation.

    This recording suits anyone who feels pulled around and wants somewhere to come back to. If the breath stirs up anxiety, feel your feet or hands instead. If strong emotion comes, go gently. Stop when you need to.
