Breathe in, breathe out.
Repeat as necessary.

There is the greatest joy in the body performing a vital function. Breathing, pissing, shitting, these are perfect moments and perfect actions and we can taste some of that perfection if we bring complete awareness to them. Our bodies are a blessing, a portal into the nowless of life, and our means for acting in the physical world.

This, then, can be a simple meditation that we can use at any time, particularly at times when we find ourselves waiting, or restless, or bored. Someone once said that “patience is having something else to do while you’re waiting”, and what better thing to be doing than simply experiencing our bodies, experiencing life going on within us and all around us?
