#171 - Mindfulness Meditation - The Breath As An Anchor

#171 - Mindfulness Meditation - The Breath As An Anchor

A meditation for any time of day, using the breath to help anchor awareness in the present moment.

This meditation uses the breath to help us anchor our awareness much the way an anchor holds a ship in one place no matter where the wind of the tide is trying to push it. It can be done before bed or anytime. It's meant to help create a sense of well-being that can have wholesome benefits that can help in both your sleeping and waking hours. I'll be publishing more meditations like this periodically, so please let me know how you like them.

If you'd like to join us on TikTok for a live chat this Sunday, you can find more information and a link to be notified when it starts on my TikTok page at https://www.tiktok.com/@listentosleep.

If the podcast helps you sleep, would you consider supporting it with $3 a month? You'll get new episodes a day earlier with no ads or introductions, an immediate download of the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland audiobook and you'll be helping me to get closer to realizing my dream of having Listen To Sleep be my full-time endeavor. You can join or find more information at https://www.listentosleep.com/support/.

Sleep well.💜
