Breathing Meditation

Sit in a comfortable manner with your back straight but relaxed-

Begin by taking a few deep breaths, then let your natural breathing take over-

Rest your attention on your breathing and its rhythm-

Experience your breathing without visualization or imagination-

Let your breathing be natural. Do not try to control it either faster or slower-

If you wish, count your breaths from one to ten, and then again and again-

If you are distracted by thought, just gently come back to the breath once more-

Welcome any thoughts that arrive, just do not invite them for tea!-

You will hear noises, feel sensations. Do not grasp them, just let them pass-

Be one with your breathing, one with the world. We all breathe the same air-

Sit for at least 20 minutes. When finished, take a deep breath-
