Breath Meditation For Anxiety

This is a breath meditation.

Sitting comfortably either on the floor or on a chair with your feet on the ground,

You can close your eyes or leave them slightly open and bring your attention to your own breath.

You don't need to change your breath.

Just notice it.

And as you're noticing your breath,

You can say to yourself as you inhale,

Inhaling.

And as you exhale,

Say to yourself,

Exhaling.

Just continue to stay with your breath,

Noting your inhales and exhales.

If your mind wanders on to other thoughts,

Just gently bring it back to the practice of noticing,

Inhaling,

And exhaling.

Stay with your breath,

Inhaling and exhaling.

The mind can wander,

But we continue to bring it back to the inhaling and exhaling.

And now you can let the attention on your breath go.

When you're ready,

Open your eyes.

Your meditation is complete.
