How to Practice Breath Awareness Meditation

To practice breath awareness meditation, find a quiet place where you can sit or lie down comfortably. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath. Notice the sensations of the air moving in and out of your body, the rise and fall of your chest, and the feeling of your belly expanding and contracting.

As you observe your breath, you may notice that your mind starts to wander. When this happens, gently bring your attention back to your breath. It is normal for the mind to wander, and the practice of breath awareness meditation is in the act of noticing when the mind has wandered and bringing it back to the present moment.

Try to maintain this focus on your breath for five to ten minutes to start, and then gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable with the practice.

This is of course easier to learn if you allow an expert to walk you through the steps and guide you while you go through this amazing experience.
