In this meditation you'll explore anchoring on the sensations of contact between the body and what you're sitting on; on the sounds in the environmental; and then explore (in a fresh way) the old standby of the breath.

The anchoring meditation is inspired by the work of David Treleven, author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness.  

David's work has demonstrated that we need a wider array of options for grounding and centering ourselves in mindful awareness.

Back story: often we focus on the breath which isn't the best choice for everyone, or might not be the best choice at a given time. Mindfulness requires discernment and flexibility along with the willingness to deeply explore and persist as we go along.
