Teach me how to meditate
assistant
To begin, find a comfortable position, either sitting in a chair or cross-legged on a floor or cushion. Make sure your spine is straight and your shoulders relaxed. Close your eyes, and start to focus your attention on your breath. Inhale and exhale slowly, and feel the breath moving in and out of your body. Notice the sensation of the air entering and leaving your lungs. Every time your mind wanders off to a thought, just gently label it “thinking” and return your attention to your breath. Meditation is simply the practice of being aware of our present moment experience. Keep your mind focused on your breath, and just observe your thoughts without judgement. Enjoy the stillness and peace as you continue to focus on the present moment.
