In today's class we are starting with a simple breath awareness meditation - This is a really great meditation for those of you new to meditation. It basically requires you to hold the awareness on the breath - just observing the breath. In this meditation I have uploaded you will observe all the different movements of the breath (the nostrils, chest and navel) and finally observe the whole breath.
One of the things I love about breath awareness is the calming effect it has on the mind and body (I often incorporate a small portion of this meditation into my yoga classes).
Don't be discouraged if you notice thoughts coming and going, a big misconception about meditation is that the mind needs to become completely quiet, this is not possible. In meditation you will learn to focus your awareness, thoughts may come and go, but we don't get carried away with them, we hold our awareness on the activity!
In the audio I have uploaded there is no music, there is no particular reason for this other than the fact that some people prefer no music, this is totally up to you - Here is one of the playlists I love to listen to when meditating. You can find it on Spotify, or on iTunes
Take 10 minutes out of your day to spend some time meditating - I promise you will not regret it
Namaste
