This traditional meditation focuses on breath and sounds. It is intended to be an introductory meditation, though experienced meditators may appreciate going back to basics, too. Our breath is always happening; consequently, it makes an excellent anchor when we want to be more fully present. Likewise, internal or external sounds are also almost always occurring. While some people find it is easier to focus on sounds than breath, developing an ability to notice both expands our capacity for observing a broader range of the stimuli that surround us.
