Permeate: Practice Morsels

When practicing mindfulness of breathing, consider how the breath can permeate and saturate different aspects of experience. It can fill the body, reaching every pore and cell. It can move through the heart, touching even its subtle stirrings. It can extend into the mind, thoughts, and consciousness itself, fully saturating the entire realm of awareness.
