A Simple Breathing Meditation Technique
Using a breathing meditation technique is probably the easiest meditation technique that you can learn. You're breathing at this moment, so all you need to learn is how to notice and focus on your breathing.
Begin your breathing meditation by finding a quiet place. If at all possible, make sure that you won't be disturbed. Whilst it's not the end of the world, it's frustrating to be interrupted whilst you're learning something new.
It could be a spare room in your house. Or a tranquil park or garden near your home or place of work. Anywhere you can find that's fairly quiet. Over time, when you start to get comfortable with using breathing meditation, you'll discover that the "requirement" for a quiet place isn't needed. With practice, you will find you can relax absolutely anywhere, whenever you want.
You can practice breathing meditation sitting or standing. Unless the particular breathing meditation you're using says differently, it is your choice.
Initially, just notice each breath in and each breath out. Are your breaths shallow, regular or really deep?
Next, begin to focus on the breaths you take. Breathe in. Now. Begin to fill your lungs with air. Then hold your breath for a second or so, if it's comfortable for you to do that. Finally, breathe out again. Emptying your lungs of as much air as you feel OK doing.
Repeat your breathing meditation 5 times or more. As you progress, there's a good chance that your breathing will get deeper. You may also begin to feel more relaxed.
Because it's quick and easy, you'll soon be adding the simple technique of breathing meditation to your regular day to day activities. And if you want it to be, it's completely "invisible" to those around you. Because breathing is such a natural activity, you can use a breathing meditation near enough anywhere.
Congratulations! You’ve just performed your first breathing meditation..
