This is a mindfulness meditation that focuses on the breath.
Bring your entire attention to the area between your nose and your top lip.
With your mouth softly closed,
Feel the breath come and go and pass over that area of your body.
As you breathe in,
Feel the air pass over the skin and in through the nostrils.
As you breathe out,
Feel the air leave your nostrils and once again pass over the skin just above your lip.
Focus.
Stay attentive.
Don't allow your attention to wander.
Stay with your breath,
Rising and falling.
You are alert,
Aware and awake.
Train your mind to be focused.
If your mind wanders,
Just bring it back.
Stay strong.
Notice if there's a temperature difference between the air coming in and the air going out.
See if you can hold your awareness there in a way that you're not trying too hard.
As though your awareness wants to be there and it easily stays on that spot.
Effortlessly focused.
Concentrated.
Mindful.
The breath rises and the breath falls and your awareness remains the same.
Wake and alert.
Keep watching the breath.
