Mindful Meditation Exercises

There are many mindful meditation techniques.

Mindful breathing is one of the easier ones. This breathing meditation reduces stress and promotes health


For thousands of years Eastern cultures have been practicing mindfulness meditation.

Today many people are recognizing the benefits that mindfulness has in reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

In today’s world there are so many things going on.

The Internet, the cell phone, and email all clamor for your attention, distracting you, and making it hard for you to focus.

Mindfulness techniques are about training that focus.

Rather than focusing on the past or the future, mindfulness cultivates an awareness of the 'here and now.'

What is mindful meditation of the breath?

Just the other day I bought myself a puppy.

The puppy was not toilet-trained.

So here I was trying to teach my puppy to do his thing on the paper.

The puppy wandered off, and I brought him back to the paper.

Again and again… he wandered off and I brought him back to the paper...

Well mindful meditation of the breath is a little bit the same!

Each time that you notice your mind wandering off track, gently bring your focus back to the mindful meditation of the breath.

Each time you notice your mind wander is an opportunity to practice mindful meditation.

Do this for 5 minutes one day....perhaps 10 minutes the next day and 15 or 20 the next day.

It is always better to do a little meditation than none.
