Mindfulness meditation involves intentionally focusing your attention on the present moment without judgment.

How to do it:

  1. Find a quiet place to sit or lie down where you won't be distracted.
  2. Get comfortable in a seated or lying down position, with your spine upright and your head and neck aligned with your spine.
  3. Close your eyes or keep them open with a soft gaze focused on a point in front of you.
  4. Take a few deep breaths to settle into your body and release any tension or stress.
  5. Begin to focus your attention on your breath, observing the sensation of the air moving in and out of your body.
  6. If your mind begins to wander, gently bring your attention back to your breath.
  7. As you continue to focus on your breath, notice any thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations that arise, and simply observe them without judgment or reaction.
  8. If you find yourself getting caught up in a thought or emotion, gently bring your attention back to your breath and the present moment.
  9. When you’re finished, take a few deep breaths & bring your attention back to your surroundings.
