In this practice, you will bring your attention to your breathing and begin to notice what it feels like to breathe. Allowing your breath and yourself to be, exactly as they are. You will learn to gently and kindly bring your focus back home to your breath, when the mind wanders - knowing that no matter what is happening in your life, your breath is always here to connect with.
