Episode Details

We are on a mountain with a tremendous view. Let the breath speak to us. Stay present and watch both the joy and the suffering.  We investigate wisely and patiently like a parent whose child may object or run away. Trying to see the breath clearly, our mindfulness is like the sunlight on a flower. Attentive, receptive, timeless, and still, we gently soften and mellow – just knowing, observing, and selflessly aware of pure presence. To trust the breath is to let go moment by moment, discovering its hidden truths – and our true home here and now. Guided meditation and reflections, Heart of Wisdom retreat, Insight Meditation Society, Mass. USA, April, 2019.
