Mindfulness meditation is simple, but it's not easy. The following steps will get you started.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:
- Sit or lie quietly and notice your breath moving in and out.
- Notice anything else you feel in your body.
- As other thoughts intrude, let them go.
- Remain aware of being in the present moment.
- Practice for 15 - 20 minutes daily.
- As the chatter in your mind settles down you will discover a peaceful state.
Tips:
- You can eat, drink, or walk mindfully by focusing exclusively on eating, drinking, or walking.
- Stop and notice your breath at various times throughout the day.
- Cultivate a sense of being, rather than always feeling like you have to be doing something.
