Presence & Principle

Episode Summary:

In this guided meditation, Michael Perfetto—practitioner of Chinese medicine, Qigong, and internal cultivation—leads you through a deeply centering breath practice known as the Six Direction Breath. Rooted in the wisdom of Qigong, this gentle technique anchors awareness in the lower Dantian, guiding the breath in six directions: forward, back, downward, outward to the sides, and upward.

Through natural, effortless breathing, the structure of the body opens, the Qi flows, and the mind finds rest in the body. This meditation supports calm, clarity, and presence—inviting you to return to your center physically, energetically, and spiritually.

No experience necessary. Simply find a comfortable posture, follow the breath, and let the practice bring you home.
