Mindfulness Awareness Practice (Shamatha)

This is a guided approach to the class mindfulness/awareness practice, also known as concentration meditation, or Shamatha (in Sanskrit). Shamatha can be translated as "calm abiding" or "tranquility", and is used to stabilize the mind by bringing focused awareness to a single object of meditation.
In this practice, we will use the breath as our anchor. I hope you enjoy this restorative practice, and that it helps you cultivate a sense of calm and balance in the mind.

Great instruction and tip in labeling thoughts! Sound and voice quality was excellent.

A pleasant, balanced and warm breathing meditation, key to more mindfulness. Namaste 🤓🙏🏻

This meditation was exactly what I needed now. My mind was busy and adrenaline rushing through me. This brought me back to center into the compassionate comfort of my breath. Thank you.
