Guided Meditation: How to Stay Present Longer (with Sean Fargo)
In this guided meditation, Sean Fargo leads us into the heart of concentration practice by inviting a sense of safety, openness, and gentle presence.
Drawing from his training as a Buddhist monk and his years of teaching mindfulness, Sean introduces simple yet profound ways to steady the mind and deepen focus — beginning with the breath, moving through sound and sight, and resting in the body, heart, and mind.
This practice emphasizes the importance of feeling safe enough to let go of distractions and place attention on just one aspect of experience at a time.
Along the way, Sean integrates reflections on goodness and gratitude, loving-kindness phrases, and visualization techniques to gladden the mind and open the heart.
Whether you are new to meditation or seeking to strengthen your ability to stay present, this session offers practical tools for cultivating concentration and stillness in daily life.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
Why a sense of safety is foundational for concentration
How to use breath, sound, and sight as anchors for awareness
Ways to gladden the mind and open the heart through gratitude
A step-by-step practice to gently return attention when the mind wanders
