6 Steps For Mindful Breathing Meditation Techniques

Meditation breathing techniques for beginners:

1. Find a relaxed and comfortable position before you begin. If you prefer, you can sit on a chair or on the floor with an extra pillow. Keep your spine straight, but don't overtighten it. Place your arms wherever you feel most comfortable. Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth if that's more comfortable for you.

2. Recognize and invite relaxation in your body. Relax and become curious about your body's sensations, touch, and connection to the floor or chair while seated here. Relax any areas of tightness or tension you may be experiencing. Breathe.

3. Pay attention to the beat of your own breathing.  The simplest way to practice mindful breathing is to pay attention to your natural breath flow as it can be felt—in and out. There's nothing you need to do other than just breathe normally.

Not too long, not too short, but just right. Breathe into your body and notice where you feel it. It's possible that it's in your tummy. In the chest, throat, or nostrils, for example.

Mindfulness and breathing: Take a deep breath at a time and see if you can become aware of the sensations associated with it. Breaths come and go as quickly as they come and go. It's okay if you can't feel your breath in every part of your body.

4. It's possible that your mind wanders to unrelated topics. It's not a big deal if this happens. It's completely normal. Be aware that your thoughts have drifted. Gently bring your attention back to your breathing.

5. Stay here for five to seven minutes.  Breathe in and out quietly. Once in a while, you'll lose yourself in your thoughts; just gently return to your breath and come back to the present moment.

6. Notice your entire body for a few more minutes. Let yourself relax even further, and then give yourself a pat on the back for completing today's meditation practice.

Utilizing breath meditation as a means of maintaining awareness can be a game-changer for individuals who have attempted to meditate but have been unsuccessful.
