MBSR Seated Meditation

This is a seated meditation practice for the MBSR program. In this practice, we shift from awareness of the breath or a different anchor point to body sensations, sounds, thoughts, emotions and expanding to an open awareness.

Thank you for taking the time to grant us a practice that helps us ground in the present moment, allowing and welcoming anything that arises, to simply exist for a brief moment before it naturally disappears again and, to let us experience that ‘this moment’ feels like time moving through our physical body and awareness.

It are these basic practices that keep us grounded but not stuck - and that unburden us from the stories we sometimes tend to get lost in - that make us wander off our path or keep us bogged down and heavy hearted by imagined weight.

It reminds me of one of the practices of Adyashanthi, called “resting in the presence of I”. Like this guided meditation, it is one that you can return to every day - perhaps deceptively simple but not easy, yet imperative to the foundation of our practice.
