Permission to not focus on the breath.

My morning's meditation came from Insight Timer and was a 16 minute beginner's guide to Vipassana. I really enjoyed this meditation and part of the reason why was that it allowed for the possibility that being focused on the breath was not the only thing you might use as a baseline. It introduced the idea that there might be something else to center on: something sensory perhaps and that really worked well for me. I felt like having options allowed me to have a short, small list of things to focus on that were/are still in the moment (breath included) which made it a shorter route back to the breath. Don't know how much sense that makes but believe it makes sense for me so there!
