Mindfulness invites us to observe this present moment just as it is. We practice leaving judgment behind and instead witness what arises with a spacious sense of openness and allowance. Everything in our field of awareness is welcome. By observing from a grounded, centered and equanimous point of view, we may notice more about how our minds work.
Sean Fargo, founder of Mindfulness Exercises, guides a meditation on sensing into this present moment, just as it is. He begins with a posture that feels relaxed and alert, then invites you to connect with your body and the support of the ground below you, including the soles of the feet and whatever the body is touching. The practice then turns to the breath, including the pause between the exhale and the inhale and the rhythm of breathing in the belly, diaphragm and chest. It closes by noticing what has changed in the body and mind and how to carry that into the rest of your day. Listen in a quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction.
