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…
