Simply paying attention to your breathing—its natural rhythm and flow and how it feels on each inhale and exhale—is the goal.Focusing on the breath is especially beneficial because it serves as an anchor, something you can return to anytime if you feel stressed or carried away by negative emotions.Psychological stress is terrible for your health. According to research, people with heart disease fare worse over time if they do not manage their focus, and stress appears to be linked to an increased risk of cancer.Stress has been linked to poor memory and more aches and pains. Reducing stress, on the other hand, allows you to sleep better and keep your blood pressure under control.Concentrating on your breathing is one of the simplest ways to reduce stress. Anyone can practice this type of "beginner" meditation. You'll experience an immediate sense of calm, which may aid in long-term health protection.If you enjoy it, breath meditation can be a gateway to a broader practice of "mindfulness," in which you learn to accept and appreciate what life throws at you rather than fighting your thoughts and feelings.Many people take up mindfulness practices thinking they'd like to relax more, but where it leads is a very different approach to life and its inevitable challenges.A Final Thought On This Guided Breathing Meditation MethodAs soon as you've laid the groundwork, you'll start to experience the positive effects of meditation, such as reduced stress, enhanced memory, and heightened awareness of one's thoughts and feelings.In addition, just as with any new pastime or activity, the more you practice, the simpler and more natural it will become for you to engage in focused meditation._"Be the person your soul wishes you to be." - Don WeyantOffering step-by-step instructions for beginners.

Starting point is 00:00:00 We appreciate your interest in today's meditation life skills podcast. We sincerely grateful for your support. Let's begin by taking a moment to allow your body to settle. Find a comfortable position that allows your spine to be long, but with a natural curve in the low back. You can close your eyes or keep them open with a soft gaze downward a few feet in front of you. Let the belly and shoulders relax. Today, I'll guide you through a focused attention practice, focusing on the breath.
Starting point is 00:01:05 This will help calm your mind and relax your body. Before we start, take a full breath in. Allow the breath to find its natural rhythm in and out. Begin this practice by connecting with what draws you hear. Maybe it's a wish. Maybe it's a wish for greater well-being for yourself and for others. Maybe a desire for some rest and calm. Now bring your attention to the breath.
Starting point is 00:02:29 You may notice movement of the abdomen or chest. Sensations of air passing at the tip of the nose. Sensations in the throat. Or a sense of the whole body breathing. Wherever the sensation is most vivid for you, visit for you. Allow your attention to rest there. Do you notice the moment the inhale begins, how it continues and the moment it ends? Can you notice the very moment when the exhale begins?
Starting point is 00:03:53 How it continues and the moment it ends? Is there a slight pause before the next inhale begins? Try to keep your attention focus. attention focused through one complete cycle of breath. See if you can sustain your focused attention on the breath or another breath. Then another complete cycle of breath. Allow the breath to be a kind of home base, an anchor for awareness. Thoughts will come, thoughts will go. No need to push them away or to chase after them. When the mind wonders, just come back to the breath.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Come back to this moment. Right here. Let's finish this focused attention practice now by taking a full breath in and a long breath out. Now take my suggestion for this integrated practice for today. Pick a short task you need to do today. For example, writing an email, washing the dishes. During the task, practice focusing all of your attention on the task and notice when your attention wanders,
Starting point is 00:08:30 gently bringing it back to the task at hand.
