The Awakening Heart Sangha is a group of people dedicated to the Buddhist practice of mindfulness. Mindfulness is the process of awakening to each moment so that we might experience life in deeper and more meaningful ways. If we can be present in each moment, we will have the ability to see things as they really are, which in turn will water the seeds of joy and peace within us. The primary instrument used to cultivate mindfulness is the simple, yet profound practice of following our breath.
