Return: Counting Breath

Originating from the Zen Buddhist tradition, this meditation involves settling the awareness on the movement of the breath, and assigning each breath with a count. The practitioner continues to a count of ten breaths and then reverts again to one. If at any time you feel your awareness being pulled by a thought or blurring focus, you simply start again at 'one'. This practice is excellent at revealing the nature of thought and awareness, and also strengthens the concentration abilities.

I always love to come back to this practice when I feel my mind is too busy. Counting breath helps to quiet my mind. I like the way Dani guides you into it and then you continue on your own. I wouldn't mind if it was a little longer. 💜

This was a perfect afternoon break to recenter & refocus. Thank you Dani!

This challenged me more than I expected. I will come back to it often. Thank you 🙏

This one is challenging for me, but beautifully guided here. Will be using this guidance often to practice!
