Meditation of Breath

Meditation of breath is a very powerful meditation and yet also very simple. It is therefore an excellent practice for both beginners and experienced. Using this technique will sharpen your focus and simultaneously bring you into a realm of deep relaxation. Do it consistently and everything in your world will begin to transform.

How do you meditate on breathing?

• Find a quiet place and sit down
• Try keeping your body straight and erect (this will keep you from falling asleep)
• Close your eyes and start taking slow, deep breaths (preferably in through the nose and out through the mouth)
• After you get a rhythm going, simply start focusing on your breathing. Feel your chest slowly expand and contract. Notice the air entering your body and exiting your body.
  
• Your mind will most definitely start to wander away from your breathing. Gently bring your attention back to your breathing.
• Don't get frustrated or judge yourself harshly. Allow no resistance.
  
• Gently bring your attention back to your breathing.
  
• Try to start meditating daily for 2-20 minutes and gradually increase the duration and/or start experimenting with other meditative techniques.
