Mindfulness of the Head Space, A Meditation with Sean Fargo

We’re often “caught up in our heads,” pushed and pulled by our thoughts. In mindfulness practice, we typically balance this thought-centered focus by directing awareness away from the head to the body and heart.

In this guided meditation, Sean Fargo invites us to take a different approach. We practice intentionally remaining in the headspace, observing sensation (versus thoughts) in and around the head with tenderness, care and a gentle awareness.  

Please listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be 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.
