Meditation for the Mind


Breath Focus Meditation:

Mindfulness trains the mind to settle, let go of mental clutter and focus in the present moment. Connects mind with body and helps mental wellbeing.

  • Find a comfortable position either lying down on your back, in a chair, or on a cushion on the floor. Spine should be erect but not rigid.
  • Scan through the body and release unnecessary tension.
  • Bring attention to the body with an attitude of friendly curiosity.
  • Tune into the sensations of your body breathing and focus your attention on the feel of the breath coming in and out.
  • When your mind wanders, notice, and gently guide attention back to the breath (over and over again).
  • Practice for 5 – 30 minutes daily for lasting positive results.
