In this heart-centered meditation, I gently guide you to settle into your body, find your place, and rest in the simple rhythm of your breath. As attention gathers in the chest, you explore a steady concentration on breathing in the heart area—then gradually infuse it with warm-heartedness, kindness, and loving presence. The practice invites you to soften, receive the breath rather than chase it, and let a natural sweetness spread through awareness as you rest in a concentrated, heart-based lovingness.
You’re welcome to join me live each week for these meditations — free for everyone — by signing up here. We always start with a guided meditation to set the tone for the evening. If you’d like to explore the talk that followed this meditation, you can listen to it here.
