Relax your shoulders, so that they are away from your ears.
Rest your palms on your thighs (face up or face down, whichever is most comfortable for you) and close your eyes. Start to rest your attention on your breath.
Watch your inhales come and exhales go.
Settle your mind in the space between.
Begin to lengthen and deepen your inhales and exhales, setting a slow, easy pace of breathing. If a thought starts to enter your mind, simply observe it like a cloud passing by.
Let the thought pass and come back to your breath.
Continue observing your breath for three to five minutes.
You can use a stopwatch if that’s handy, or you could simply feel it out and see how much time has actually passed when you open your eyes. Either way is useful.
