How do I practice mindful meditation?
assistant
The first step in practicing mindful meditation is to find a comfortable and quiet place to sit. Once you have chosen a spot, begin by focusing on your breath. Observe each inhale and exhale, feeling the sensations in your body and being aware of how your breath changes. Whenever your mind strays, just gently acknowledge the thought and bring your focus back to your breath. Allow yourself to be present with your experience without judgment or expectation. Try to practice mindful meditation for a few minutes each day. The more you practice, the easier it will become.
