This is a traditional meditation that teaches us present moment focus. We learn to focus on our breath, and when our mind wanders off, we gently guide it back to our breath. Our minds will always wander, and the point of this meditation lies in us noticing when it wanders and redirecting it back, not preventing it from ever wandering in the first place.

This meditation is a great one to start with.

Note: In the Sleep Aid Meditation, we removed the ending gong so you can use it as a sleep aid, and it will not wake you up when it finishes.

In your everyday life, you can use what you have learned in your meditation practice by noticing how you are feeling, refocusing on what is present and conducting a three-breath practice.  You can do these as many times as you want throughout your day.  They are a great way to remind yourself of your learning and growing.  Best of all, they take less than a minute to do.
