About this Wiki
This wiki captures the results of research and “doing” things that we liked at time of writing. Everyone should aim to be a renaissance (wo)man

I was taught a meditation technique that centered on the breath. Big Deal right? Pretty much most traditions have a ‘beginner’ technique of “following the breath”, often the sensation on the tip of the nose, or trunk of the body.
