Cultivating Present Awareness Through Kind Attention

One translation of mindfulness, in Chinese, is “present heart.” In this guided meditation we begin by awakening through the body and the senses, and then open the attention to the changing flow of experience. The intention is to meet whatever arises with a wakeful and kind presence.

It's so helpful to say, "What's happening inside me right now?" Then, “Can I meet this with kindness, with a present heart?"
