Mindfulness

Mindfulness Technique (increases focus and brings you into the moment)


Note – Mindfulness is almost a misnomer because we are clearing the mind enabling pointed focus


Focus on your breath – both inhalation and exhalation


As you focus on breath, notice the effect breathing has on your body


If your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to your breath


If your mind wanders a lot – don’t worry, it is natural especially in the beginning – just gently bring your attention back to your breath


Note:  After practicing for a while, you will become accustom to focusing on your breath without distraction


After you have been able to focus on your breath for a while and you feel you are comfortable and done, slowly allow yourself to become aware of your feelings and surroundings


If you have not been able to focus much during your first attempts, don’t feel bad – it is common for most everyone


Keep practicing and gradually you will find that you are making progress


Enjoy the comfort the meditation has provided you


Set a regular schedule to meditate – practicing on a regular basis will provide you with consistent and improving results much faster than irregular and intermittent meditation…
