So how do you meditate? Here’s a simple meditation for beginners you can do in under five minutes that works a treat.
- Focus: Close your eyes and focus on your breathing for 60 seconds. Each time your mind wanders just bring it back to your breath.
- Listening: Next spend 60 seconds listening to any noises you might be able to hear where you are. Listening is at the heart of meditation! When we listen we’re receptive and open.
- Being: Last but not least, for the final 60 seconds let your attention range freely again so that you’re not focusing on anything in particular but just resting quietly.
And there you have it. A short meditation for beginners you can try at home today.
