"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." Buddha

As you settle into your practice this afternoon, spend a few moments tuning your attention inward. Listen to your breath. Notice the movement it brings to your physical body. Allow your breath to deepen to a slower rhythm. Focus your thoughts on the positive...exhale the negative. Use your breath as a tool in your practice today to help you sustain your focus.
