The most direct portal to presence comes through being awake in our body. Many people think of meditation as a practice solely for the mind, reaching some alternative, transcendent state. But mindfulness meditation is above all a fully embodied practice.  In this meditation we let our awareness drop down into the belly and rest deep within our body. We try not to manipulate or control the breath in any way. Instead we learn to trust the breath to breath us naturally. Bringing our attention to the navel centre we come to know the seat of all layers of our embodiment, our fundamental wholeness and interconnectedness. Thank you for listening.
