Breathe Meditation Technique

March 10th, 2010 |

In this short article, we are going to look at a breathing meditation technique also known by some as a mindfulness meditation. It is often the simplest meditation techniques which can give the most satisfaction, and a breathe meditation is as simple as they come.

To begin, sit or lay down in calm place, one where you will not easily be disturbed. Once you have relaxed a little you should begin to consciously focus on your breathing. One of the most vital aspects the ability to breathe yet we do it instinctively and subconsciously. As we focus on our breathing we are crossing paths with our subconscious and reaching a state of deep focused relaxation.

Breathe deeply, slow down your breathing and take in long deep breathes until your lungs are full of air, notice the sensations within your body as you hold your breathe for a second and gently release the air. Repeat this exercise several times, or until you feel more relaxed.

It is not imperative to be so disciplined in your approach to breath meditation. I have entered deep trance from just paying attention to my natural breathing cycle, and I am sure you can to.

The wonderful thing about this simple meditation technique is that it can be used anywhere at any time, you can use it while out walking, or in a busy public place.
