Meditation: Appreciate things we take for granted

If this week’s theme is paying attention to the mundane, then I can think of no better way to honor stuff we take for granted than to focus on the breath. Feeling the rise and fall of each breath — something that happens tens of thousands of times a day — can anchor you in the current moment like nothing else. And can provide a deep sense of gratitude for all of the “mundane” miracles around us.
