10 Minute Awareness of Breath Meditation

YouTube Video | mp3 Download (these links will take you to end of post)

Sit in a comfortable position on the floor or in a chair. Sit upright, with your back straight (but not uncomfortably so).

Gently bring your attention to your breath. There’s no need to change how you are breathing in any way, but just notice each breath as you inhale and exhale. Be aware of the sensations in your body as you breathe; observe what parts of your body move as you breathe.

If other thoughts come in to your mind as you practice, acknowledge them and then gently shift your awareness back to your breathing again.
