Young Urban Zen SF

Kōgetsu Mok leads us through a very powerful breakdown of the first of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness: the breath. How does breathing help us to come home to our bodies, our lives, and ourselves?

We can maybe see how something as ordinary as the breath can become a doorway to intimacy, humility, connection, and freedom.

Not for enlightenment.
Not to unravel emptiness.
Not to grok some complicated philosophy.
Just breathing.
