There's something simple and ineffable about this practice...its "suchness"...that can't be captured or pinned down with words and concepts. In counting one's breath, the mind is somehow freed to experience the present moment as simple awareness, underneath passing sensations, thoughts, sounds, and emotions. As I praticed, a fly landed on my chin and crawled around on my face, tickling me with its tiny legs. Quite unpleasant. Then the fly left, and my discomfort subsided. Causes and conditions. Impermamence. That's it. I'm grateful for this guided meditation and will be using it often.
