Top of the Breath

12 min

At the top and bottom of each breath, the body pauses and turns without being told. Attention stays close to those two tiny hinges, noticing the stillness after the in-breath and the wider quiet before the next breath arrives. Nothing is counted, held or improved; the breath is simply left to do what it has always done.

Soft, warm, unhurried

Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness — a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
