We spend much of our time in the past or the future, but our breath can be an anchor into the here and now. This is a great practice for getting started, or when you’re in a hurry. Mindfulness is the simple practice of bringing our attention to what’s happening in any given moment, both around us and within us, with an open, curious mindset. In other words, it’s the opposite of mindlessness. We can build our brain’s capacity for mindfulness by practicing meditations like this one.
