Conscious Breathing Meditation
This video introduces you to a meditation practice I simply refer to as Conscious Breathing. This is a great exercise for practicing focus and training your awareness on a simple anchor -- the breath!
As you begin to work with this practice, start a journal and track your conscious breathing experiences. Write down how long you sat for. Not because this is a contest of any kind, but just for your awareness. It’s good to just be aware of where you are at in your practice!
What emotions and thoughts were present before the meditation?
How did your body feel?
What was the quality of your breath when you first began to breathe?
What was the quality of your breath once you spent some time conscious breathing?
And finally, how did your body, thoughts, or emotions shift after spending this time with the breath?
Journal your experiences for yourself and feel free to let the community know in the comments if you have any particular insights you feel called to share...I appreciate you being here!
See you in the next video :)
