This week on the BHNN Guest Podcast, Gil Fronsdal dives into:

• The 3 levels of mindfulness practice (knowing, sensing, relaxing)
• Considering what it feels like to be thinking 
• Knowing the changing phenomena of the moment
• Allowing yourself to be both alert and relaxed
• Feeling the activation of our thinking minds
• Calming the brain and body 

"You’re just kind of flowing along with the changing phenomena of the moment. And the changing phenomena of the moment might just be the changing sensations of breathing. You’re just knowing them in a very, very simple way, maybe even a non-cognitive way. You’re not necessarily thinking about them, having words, but you’re really letting it register, this is the changing sensation of breathing." –Gil Fronsdal
