minus-squareCrustyCrinkles@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-28 months agoFind a quiet place where you can be undisturbed, sit comfortably and close your eyes. Breathe in, then breathe out. Focus on your breathing. In, and out. Eventually your mind will wander somewhere else, that is normal and expected. Just bring it back to focusing on breathing. In and out again. Feel the air as it fills your lungs, feel what it is like to hold it in, and concentrate on what you feel as you let it out. You’re basically just training your mind to focus on one thing and to be mindful. Rince repeat as much as you like, I enjoy putting on a timer for 10 minutes, but really you do as you feel is good for you. The most important thing to know is that there is no being “good” at meditating or not getting “it”, you’re either meditating or not meditating. Thats a great and easy way to get started in my opinion.
