Meditation In today’s fast-paced world, Finding inner peace and tranquillity can seem like an impossible task. However, one powerful tool that is always accessible to us is our breath. Breath awareness meditation, also known as mindful breathing, is a practice that harnesses the power of the breath to cultivate mindfulness and relaxation. Here’s how you can get started:
● Understanding Breath Awareness: Begin by finding a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without distractions. Close your eyes and bring your attention to your breath. Notice the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves your body.
● Deepening Your Practice: As you continue to focus on your breath, you may notice that your mind begins to wander. This is completely normal.
Whenever you notice your thoughts drifting, gently bring your attention
back to your breath without judgement.
● Exploring Breath Work: Experiment with different breathing techniques
to deepen your practice. Try lengthening your inhales and exhales, or focus on breathing into specific areas of your body, such as your belly or chest.
● Incorporating Breath Awareness Into Daily Life: Breath awareness meditation doesn’t have to be confined to a formal meditation session. You can practise mindful breathing throughout your day, whether you’re commuting to work, sitting at your desk, or spending time with loved ones.
By incorporating breath awareness meditation into your daily routine, you can cultivate a greater sense of calm, clarity, and well-being in your life.
