Sitting Meditation | Mindful Breathing
Mindfulness is always mindfulness of something. In sitting meditation, we practice mindful breathing, the most foundational mindfulness practice. In this simple, but deep, practice, we bring awareness to our in-breath as we are breathing in and to our out-breath as we are breathing out. We learn to feel our breath, either by becoming aware of it passing through our nostrils or by feeling the rise and fall of our belly. We do not control our breathing in any way; we practice simply being aware of it and relaxing any tension in our bodies. Following our breath, we come back to the present moment and arrive in our body here and now. Learn more about the practice of sitting meditation (YouTube Video).

We look forward to practising with you.

Breathe and smile,
Melbourne River Sangha
