Summary

In this guided meditation, Tara Brach invites you to step out of the trance of incessant thinking and return to the living presence of your body, breath, and awareness.

As we move through life identified with thought, we can lose touch with the aliveness, vastness, and mystery of Being. This practice offers a gentle pathway to inhabit your energetic form—sensing the vibrancy of life moving through you—while also resting in the boundless, formless stillness that is the source of all experience.

This meditation is especially supportive if you're seeking:
• Relief from overthinking and mental fatigue
• A deeper sense of embodied presence
• Connection with stillness, awareness, and source
• Mindfulness meditation for inner peace and awakening
