Softening & Steering (A Guided Meditation)

Mindfulness Exercises, with Sean Fargo

About

We guide a short meditation that begins with birdsong and ends with a steadier, kinder presence in the body. We soften tension and resistance, then steer our attention toward care, values, and the life we want to live breath by breath. 
• settling into the body and the space around us 
• softening breath and releasing unnecessary tension 
• noticing resistance as clenching, tightness, quick breathing 
• spotting resistance as judging or distancing 
• meeting fear with gentle space and care 
• grounding through contact with the seat or ground 
• steering intention toward values, love, and wisdom 
• returning through small movements and sensory awareness
