Breathing Concentration Meditation Practice

danieljahearnlmft.com Finding a posture we can hold still as possible for the set time. we calm the body by scanning it from head to toe. We let our eyes float closed if we can. If we need them open, simply, soften them. No hard gaze. Soften everything in the body. We let the thoughts come and go as they do. They’re just thoughts. We’re just breathing. We track the breath. Noticing the inhale - labeling this 1 - noticing the exhale - labeling this 2 - and at the space between the breath we notice the entire body, mapping the body with our awareness - labeling this 3. We keep returning to the breath, the inhale, the exhale, and the mapping of the body. 1, 2, and 3…over and over. When we drift: we return. When we drift again: we return again. We relax. We take it easy. Sit for 10 minutes and practice. Remember: it’s a practice.
