In this episode of Sit Walk Work, we explore the art of open awareness meditation, shifting from broad attention to focused mindfulness. I guide you through steps to tune into your body, observe your breath, and create moments of inner peace amidst life’s flux. Together, we reflect on the power of attention, gratitude, and the impermanence of our experiences. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned meditator, this practice invites curiosity, patience, and self-discovery.
