Always Establishing Mindfulness: Breathing

What we are focusing on is this guiding principle in our practice, the aspiration, the intention to pay attention. What we pay attention to and are getting to know is all the ways the mind gets disrupted, gets distracted, and gets lost. And in the case of meditation practice, what pulls the mind off the breath, the body, what story distracts us from the rawness of just feeling emotions, learning to see thought without adding more to it? All the ways, so many ways. And to be light with it, curious with it; “Oh, look at that, that’s what a disruption is like.

That’s what it’s like for the mind to get hooked and carried away. That’s what it’s like. That’s what it’s like.”
