Tending to the Breath
This meditation is very simple.
The instructions are simply this
1. Guide attention to the sensations of the breath at a particular part of the body (nose, chest, belly are some options)
2. Notice when your attention has wandered away from the breath (this noticing is part of the practice not a mistake or failure) and gently guide attention back to the breath.
3. Work on maintaining attention on the breath for sustained periods of time.
Some common misconceptions of this practice is that we have to stop or mind from thinking or become super quiet within.
People are often hard on themselves when there attention wanders and consider it a failing - this is simply part of the practice.
