This has been a great practice. I was feeling stressed out starting my day but now after I feel much better and calmer. My mind is now able to see things more clearly in a positive way.

This is a surprisingly foundational meditation for any man to become more aware Of his feelings. This will definitely improve many types of relationships.

Having listened to countless breath awareness practices over a few decades, I can say that this one does a stellar job with the mechanics of the process. A great intro for beginners, particularly any who may be skeptical or wary of the spiritual/religious aspects of meditation. This is purely about bodily attention, and does a better job of guiding the listener through the technique than the vast majority of similar recordings and live instruction I have experienced. I particularly appreciate the way that the 4-4-4-4 count (my favorite!) goes silent after a while, so you don’t even have to focus on the counting. It feels luxurious to me to truly be able to simply trust in the flow with almost no intellect involved. Welcomes repeat listening—although once you learn the count you don’t really need the recording (unless you want to experience that intellect-less “luxury” I just described).

I really liked this meditation but I did notice that once you stopped counting, it was no longer a four-count it was often two or three, the pace was much quicker than when you were counting out. I was able to continue on my own but for a beginner this might be a bit of a problem. Thank you for sharing with us 🙏
