3. Breath and Thoughts (Adults) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:10:31

Our minds are thought machines that roam wild when left to their own devices; sometimes leading us into ideas or memories that cause anger, sadness, craving or self-pity. Paying attention to the present moment and bringing awareness to our thoughts decreases the effect that they have on our lives. The next five minutes will be directed to paying attention to breath and thoughts.Download Standard Podcasts
