This is a short awareness call u This is a short awareness of breath practice.

Find a comfortable position with your feet flat on the floor,

Your back straight and upright but not rigid or stiff.

Your hands resting comfortably on your legs or in your lap.

If you feel comfortable doing so,

Please allow your eyes to close or let your gaze fall softly ahead of you.

Taking a moment to check in with your mind,

Acknowledging any thoughts that are present in this moment.

Allowing yourself to be with those thoughts,

Not embracing them or pushing them away but allowing them to be.

Bringing your awareness now to your emotions,

To the quality or intensity of your emotions,

To the comings and goings of our emotional mind.

Bringing awareness now to your breath,

To the inflow,

To the outflow,

To your breathing wherever it is most evident in your body.

That may be your nose or your throat,

Maybe your shoulders or your chest,

Maybe your abdomen or the top of your pelvis,

Not striving to breathe in any particular way,

Only to feel the sensations associated with your body breathing.

As your mind wanders to the past or to the future,

Bringing yourself back home in the next breath.

Sending our awareness now to the rest of our bodies,

Allowing that awareness to travel from the soles of the feet to the knees and the hips,

To the back,

Shoulders,

To the neck always coming back home to the breath whenever you notice your mind wandering.

BING seem that this is someone who is become a two Absolute.
