Being Observed By The Breath

Normally in meditation, we observe the breathing, and often it's a struggle for us to sustain our attention, so we frequently bounce back and forth between mindfulness and distraction. But when we imaginatively adopt the perspective that the breathing is observing us — when we experience ourselves as the observed rather than the observer — it can be much easier for us to rest in a mindful, undistracted state.

A lovely meditation; simple yet effective. Many thanks Bodhi 🙏❤️💫

Thank you 🙏🏻
Another really interesting approach - I found the concept of being observed by the breath surprisingly easy to accept and the practice very calming. It allowed me to just be, as I was able to let go &, in turn, allow the breath to move through and around me, feeling that the breath was imbued with a sense of kindly, gentle & non-judgmental curiosity.

This was an interesting twist and gave me a different perspective on my time on my cushion. Thanks! 🙏💕
