Episode 3: Breath-Counting Meditation & The Witness Consciousness

In this episode, Danny  guides listeners through a foundational breath-counting practice before moving into a deeper meditation exploring the shift from objects of awareness to faculties of awareness, and finally resting in the space of the witness itself. Whether you're new to meditation or have an established practice, this episode offers an accessible entry point and an invitation to go deeper.

The meditation practice is followed by a reading from Chapter 1 of Yoga and Healing for Black Embodiment.

Perfect for those navigating the intensity of daily life and seeking moments of inner fortitude, clarity, and comfort.

Breathing and Reading with Danny offers one mind-body-spirit practice and one of book excerpt each episode, rooted in contemplative wisdom and healing justice. Danny is a 10x Author and seeks to bring awareness to his various published works through this audio offering. Danny lives in a populace area and has intentionally left the noise of his environment in place as an act of care for his own capacity and busy schedule. 

Danny revisits the practice from last week, where there is exploration of the sacred pause at the bottom and top of each inhale and exhale. Danny also share’s an excerpt from his forthcoming book “The Yoga Teachers Guide to AI : Second Edition” 

Welcome to my very first episode. I’m so honored to start this with you. The premise of this show is very simple. I’ll share a practice for mind-body-spirit health as well as an excerpt from one of my many books. 

In this episode I share a practice for nervous system down regulation by pausing at the bottom of your inhale visualizing energy descending into your heart, and pausing at the top of your exhale visualizing that same energy ascending from your heart to the space above your head. 

I also read an excerpt from my Afro Futurist Novel, “A Walk in the Night Sun” Book 2
