- Start by settling into your body.
- Notice yourself sitting and breathing.
- If you feel comfortable, close your eyes.
- Ask: What’s most vividly tied to my breath? Is it the coolness of air moving in and out of my nostrils? Or are my shoulders moving up and down?
- Direct your focus on this sensation.
- If you notice your attention has wandered, redirect it back to your breath.
> Minds wander. It’s a natural thing that the brain does. When our mind moves away, gently return it back. Simply begin again.
