6 Steps For Mindful Breathing Meditation TechniquesMeditation breathing techniques for beginners:1. Find a relaxed and comfortable position before you begin. If you prefer, you can sit on a chair or on the floor with an extra pillow. Keep your spine straight, but don't overtighten it. Place your arms wherever you feel most comfortable. Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth if that's more comfortable for you.Listen & Subscribe to the Meditation Life Skills Podcast on Spotify HERE...2.

Pay attention to the beat of your own breathing.  The simplest way to practice mindful breathing is to pay attention to your natural breath flow as it can be felt—in and out.

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. Close your eyes. 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. This will help calm your mind and relax you. 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 for greater well-being for yourself and for others. maybe a desire for some rest and calm 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, for your attention to rest there. Notice the moment how it continues and the moment it ends. Notice the very moment when the exhale, begins? It continues and the moment it ends? Is there a slight pause before the next inhale begins? Try to keep your attention focused through one complete

cycle. You can sustain your focused attention on the breath, another complete cycle of breath. How the breath to be a kind of home base, anchor for awareness. Wonders, just come back to this moment right here. Let's finish this focused attention practice now by taking a full breath in. 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,

gently bringing it back to the task at hand.
