Caring Curiosity Meditation, with Sean Fargo

What’s uncomfortable or challenging in our lives tends to become the focus of our attention. This negativity bias can even arise within our mindfulness practice. But by framing mindfulness as caring curiosity, our attention becomes less judgmental and naturally imbued with more compassion and acceptance. 

In this guided meditation, Sean Fargo invites us to sense into the body with caring curiosity, a gentle awareness in which whatever arises is not labeled as good or bad, but accepted, just as it is. If we can stay open with each new experience as it unfolds, we can then meet each experience with presence, grace and even a sense of awe and wonder, both within an beyond our formal meditation practice.

Listen in a safe, quiet place where you are relatively free from distraction. Find a posture that balances comfort with alertness, whether standing, seated, or lying down. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey.
