The advantage of breathing meditation is that it is easy to do anytime, anywhere – not just at home. You can do a breathing meditation in groups or on the sly, quite incognito and unrecognizable, as it looks very much like a nap from the “outside in.” And unlike chanting meditation, for example, disturbing other people is not an issue since breathing meditation makes absolutely no sound. Here are the Steps to follow in order to try a 10-15 minute breathing meditation.Image supplied by Flickr (credit:Flickr:isfullofcrap)

You may spend most, or even all, of your time at first re-directing your attention to your breathing. Do not be discouraged. This is a natural part of the practice, a wonderful experience of observing your thoughts and feelings through the eyes of your true self, your spirit.Continue until you hear the sound of your timer.Through this and all meditation practice, you will be able to connect with your INNATE SELF and become calmer and more relaxed with repetition.Image supplied by Flickr (credit:Flickr:Guy Tetreault)
