Being With Breath - Day 1 - Compassionate Awareness

While walking through the sometimes busy, lively, sometimes quiet streets of Skopje, North Macedonia, I reflect on the things we tend to fixate on and how we can redirect our focus to what's beautiful about life and people.  

Meditate Everywhere, where sound art meets wellness, is a project about not turning away from the sounds of life and the world but welcoming them in as part of the practice. It offers an opportunity to deepen presence and understanding of self by adding new layers to the practice of awareness.

Fixating and redirecting focus - Streets of Skopje, North Macedonia

This guided meditation starts with a practice of presence and mindful exploration, exploring how we think about ourselves and the world around us in relation to each other and the topic of judgment.
Then it explores opening to the energy you want to take in and letting the world around you inspire you instead of judging it.
