Simple Breathing Meditation
1. Choose a quiet place to meditate.
2. Sit in a comfortable position. The traditional cross-legged posture is fine but not necessary, and you can even sit in a chair.
3. Keep your back straight.
4. Sit with your eyes partially closed and direct your attention to your breathing.
5. Breathe naturally, preferably through the nostrils, without attempting to control your breath.
6. Try to become aware of the sensation of breathe as it enters and leaves the nostrils. This sensation is your object of meditation. Concentrate on it to the exclusion of everything else.
7. Resist the temptation to follow meandering thoughts and focus on the sensation of your breath. If your mind wanders, immediately return your focus onto your breath.
