(4:37) My meditation practices evolve as I do, so over time what I share with you will change and grow. Here is the newest version of the Three Breath meditation that I share in my classes.
Mindfulness Practice: Three Breaths
- Start by becoming present to the location you are in: look around at what you can see right now.
- Close your eyes and gently shift your attention to your breathing. Notice your breath moving in and out of your body right now. Be curious about your breath. How am I breathing right now?
- Continue to notice your breath, counting 3 breaths. (Inhale + Exhale = 1 breath)
- Continue to notice your breathing with out counting, just resting in the quiet.
- When you’re ready, open your eyes to end the practice, noticing the space that you’re in right now.
When your mind wanders, as it inevitably will, gently bring it back first to presence by noticing your breath and the quiet between thoughts, and then re-focus on the heart of the practice.
