About This Practice

Sit quietly and observe your natural breath without changing it. Watch the inhale and exhale with gentle awareness.

In the Upanishadic practice of *sakshi bhava*, the seeker becomes a witness of breath and mind. This dissolves ego-identification and opens the doorway to inner peace and pure awareness.
