  • A distraction-free area

  • Choose a good time when you feel comfortable

Once you are ready, you can follow these easy steps to get started!

  1. Sit down or lie down in a comfortable position
  2. Close your eyes
  3. Breathe normally. You don’t have to make any effort to control your breath
  4. Focus all your attention on your breathing. How your body moves with every inhalation and exhalation. If your mind wanders, then return your focus back to your breath
  5. Try and maintain this for at least a few minutes at a time

Remember that it will be challenging to even hold your concentration for just a few minutes in the beginning.

This is perfectly normal, and like anything else in life, it will get better with time and practise.

Mindfulness Vs Concentration
