Middle Breath Meditation

Many people breathe mostly with the upper part of their chest, and many training modalities encourage us to instead train in abdominal breathing. By contrast, this specific practice of mindful breathing, based on the techniques of the Indo-Tibetan tradition, explores the mid-section of the chest: the often overlooked area around our lungs and heart that can also become more nourished if we bring our gentle attention there while allowing the breath to flow. Through occasionally (or regularly) doing this exercise, we can connect to our breath and our somatic field in deeper ways.

Most excellent! Love the quiet pauses. Adding to my favorites. Thank you!

The instruction not to imagine the heart and lungs was challenging and helpful. I think this exercise will help me quit smoking. Thank you brother Michael 🙏

I really appreciate the minimal guidance and ample silences. Thank you.

Amazing! Great direction without being intrusive. 🙏🏼

Powerful, strengthening yet relaxing. Opening the heart & lung space brought stability and calm to the whole body. Thank you 🍀🙏🏼
