How do I practice mindful meditation?
assistant
Start by finding a comfortable spot, making sure you won't be interrupted. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and focus on your breathing. Notice the sensations of your breath, the feeling of your chest rising and falling, and the air entering and leaving your nose. 2 Once you have settled in and are focusing on your breath, allow any thoughts to come and go without judgement. Gently bring your focus back on your breath whenever it wanders.3 Focus on different parts of your body and notice the sensations. Feel your feet resting on the ground, notice any tension or relaxation in your shoulders and neck, and observe the feeling of your facial muscles.4 Spend as much time as you like focusing on your breath and the sensations in your body. When ready, slowly open your eyes and bring your attention back to the present moment.
