How to Practice the Pause
You want to start meditating but don't know how. Just let go of what you think meditation is and just...
Sit or lay down, however you're comfortable. You might want to close your eyes, or keep them open. When you sit down, commit to taking just this next minute of your life for you.
|
Breathe in through your nose for six seconds. Breathe out through your nose for six seconds. No pause at the top or bottom. Fill your whole torso with air from the bottom of your belly through the top of your chest.
|
Notice how your body feels. Notice areas of tension and let them go. Notice thoughts that appear. Notice when one of those thoughts carries you away from the present. Gently direct your focus back to the breath.

Congratulations,
you just learned to meditate. |
Sounds simple, right?
Well, it is and it isn't. Try it, see how long you can go without getting lost in a thought. See if you can count your breaths up to 5 without losing your focus.
