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…
