  SPEAKER_00: Go ahead and settle your body somewhere comfortable for you.

  SPEAKER_00: Each one is a complete little world of its own.

  SPEAKER_00: And as you choose to stay focused on the sensation of your breathing,
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: You may also be aware of thoughts in your mind, and that's fine.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: So just observe those as well.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: Let those thoughts be there.
• 1:51
  And also let them move on while you gently return your

  attention to your friend,
• 1:59
  the breath.

  I like to think of the breath as our friend who is always ready
• 2:12
  to welcome us to
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: the present moment.
• 2:17
  And like the truly best of friends,
• 2:20
  our breath never judges our wandering mind.
