In this meditation we’ll begin by bringing some gentle awareness to the breath as it flows at the tip of the nose. Then we’ll gently invite the breath to become softer and more subtle. In order to do this we’ll use the image of a feather as an aid — we’ll imagine that our breath is so soft, calm, and gentle, that it wouldn’t even ruffle a feather being held directly under our nose.

Often it can be enough to simply hold the intention of softening the breath, but sometimes it can also be helpful to use imagery to really allow us to feel and envision what a soft breath actually looks like. This, in turn, can bring a deep sense of peace and stillness into our practice, offering us a new way of experiencing the breath and its wonderful capacity to foster clarity, calm, and mindful awareness.

I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day. They are offered completely freely, with the sole intention of supporting your personal wellbeing.
