Episode notes

A foundational mindfulness meditation breath as the anchor, present-moment as the practice, returning as the work. Not a body scan, not a visualization. Simply: be here. Notice when you leave. Come back. That's all. That's the whole thing. And it's harder and more healing than it sounds.
