Being mindful means experiencing just how noisey your mind naturally is, as you become more aware of the biases, whims, and erratic nature of your mind you can become more in control and rational. Today we continue with the breath as our anchor, as well experimenting with a short period focused on sounds and sensations. There is also some thoughts on dealing with discomfort.

This is a simple mindfulness practice you can do daily or as you please. It is more sparse in its guidance, with no preamble, so not to disturb the flow of your regular practice.We strongly recommend you complete at least the first 5 sessions of the introductory series before using this session.
