What Is It?
Mindfulness practices require us to invite our awareness into a particular focal point. In a Breathing Meditation, we focus on the sensations of our breath. You can notice the sounds and sensations of air coming in and out of your body, the gentle movements of your body as your lungs fill and empty, and the feelings of expansion and release. These observations are made without expectations or judgement.
How To Practice
Start your practice by finding a comfortable seated position in a location where you won’t be disturbed for the duration of your practice. Root through your tailbone and let your spine be long and tall. Roll your shoulder blades down and back. Soften the muscles in your face and invite your eyes to close.
Bring your awareness into the rise and fall of your breath, allowing your body to breathe as it knows how.
Notice each part of your inhale and exhale.
Invite in a full long breath letting your lungs fill and then release and empty. Repeat.
Invite your breath back to normal and slowly blink your eyes open.
