Breath Meditation
10-Minute Exercise
This meditation invites you to focus on your breathing. While many practices begin this way, I often find it easier to direct my attention to the darkness behind my closed eyes or the sounds around me. Unlike my respiration, neither of these is within my control. Conversely, I can consciously alter my breath in many ways. So, it can be challenging to observe it without intervening. However, some prefer this method.
After a brief introduction, I guide you through the practice for the first five minutes. For the next five, my voice is replaced by a music track. You can use either segment or both, depending on your preference. As always, the goal is to gently notice when your mind wanders and bring it back to your focal point.

( I need to find a better way to sign in. Takes 15 minutes to receive the email and then I'm doing something else.) Wanted to let you know I thought this exercise helpful as well as the music. Thank you. I'll use it often as the result feels soothing.
