## What is The Breathing Anchor?

Less negative stress with mindfulness!

Using this app you can participate in Awareness Training (AT) according to Andries J. Kroese. Mindfulness is intentional awareness. Therefore mindfulness training and AT are closely related. 

AT is concerned with alert relaxation of mind and body, but even more so with reprogramming the mind/body from negative thoughts and habits to a more stress reducing lifestyle. AT is a self-developing process by being aware of our thoughts, feelings and behavior. The type of awareness we are using was called by J. Krishnamurti “choiceless awareness”, a way of looking at the events of living with an open, non-judgmental mind.

With AT we practice to accept the waves of life, instead of protesting against them. We learn how to surf on them, using their energy to get into the flow of life. The key to this is living in the NOW, the present moment from moment to moment.

To be able to keep our balance in stormy weather, we have to set aside time to practice AT under quiet, peaceful circumstances.

In this app you will find practical awareness exercises which you can use for your personal training:

1. Introduction (3:58 min)
2. Awareness meditation (23:42)
3. Body scan meditation (18:04)
4. Awareness yoga (24:11)
5. AT in daily life (3:55)
