Upstairs Downstairs

Brilliance From All Sides

In this guided meditation we’ll begin with simple breath awareness and gentle pauses and gradually expand our attention to experience the breath flowing into the body from every direction. Inspired by yogic teachings on kumbhaka, the sacred pause, this practice invites you to rest in the spacious awareness that surrounds and permeates you. With ample silence between prompts, you'll have time to settle into the subtle rhythm of breath, openness, and vibrant stillness.

Upstairs Downstairs

Like the great British manors of days-gone-by, we too have an upstairs persona and a below-stairs staff of hidden operatives. We can use this analogy to become more accepting of both parts of ourselves. Check our website at withoutanet.blog [/home] to comment and more.
