Befriending Ourselves with Our Breath

Part of a new series of practices kindly offered by mindfulness teacher Sister Dang Nghiem, this audio offers guidance on the practice of befriending ourselves with our breath.

"When we learn to simply come back to the breath, moment to moment, we are training our mind to come back to be with the breath, to see whether it’s shallow or rapid, of if the touch of the breath can only be felt at the nostril level or the throat level."

The content of this audio draws on Sister Dang Nghiem's latest book, Flowers in the Dark (2021), a deeply thoughtful guide to healing trauma with mindfulness practice. By bringing together her lived experience as a survivor, a certified MD, and an ordained Buddhist teacher, she offers a body-based, practical approach to healing from the most difficult and painful life experiences.
